- borg repo-create and borg transfer not only support --repo / --other-repo options,
but also already supported related BORG_REPO and BORG_OTHER_REPO env vars.
- similar to that, the passphrases now come from BORG_[OTHER_]PASSPHRASE, BORG_[OTHER_]PASSCOMMAND or BORG_[OTHER_]PASSPHRASE_FD.
- borg repo-create --repo B --other-repo A does not silently copy the passphrase of key A
to key B anymore, but either asks for the passphrase or reads it from env vars.
`setup.py` hardcoded crypto library paths for OpenBSD, causing build
issue when OpenBSD drops specific OpenSSL version. Solution is to make
paths configurable.
Addresses #8553.
- changes to locally stored files cache:
- store as files.<H(archive_name)>
- user can manually control suffix via env var
- if local files cache is not found, build from previous archive.
- enable rebuilding the files cache via loading the previous
archive's metadata from the repo (better than starting with
empty files cache and needing to read/chunk/hash all files).
previous archive == same archive name, latest timestamp in repo.
- remove AdHocCache (not needed any more, slow)
- remove BORG_CACHE_IMPL, we only have one
- remove cache lock (this was blocking parallel backups to same
repo from same machine/user).
Cache entries now have ctime AND mtime.
Note: TTL and age still needed for discarding removed files.
But due to the separate files caches per series, the TTL
was lowered to 2 (from 20).
Note: this is the default cache implementation in borg 1.x,
it worked well, but there were some issues:
- if the local chunks cache got out of sync with the repository,
it needed an expensive rebuild from the infos in all archives.
- to optimize that, a local chunks.archive.d cache was used to
speed that up, but at the price of quite significant space needs.
AdhocCacheWithFiles replaced this with a non-persistent chunks cache,
requesting all chunkids from the repository to initialize a simplified
non-persistent chunks index, that does not do real refcounting and also
initially does not have size information for pre-existing chunks.
We want to move away from precise refcounting, LocalCache needs to die.
Also: support a "cli" env var value, that does not determine
the implementation from the env var, but rather from cli options (similar to as it was before adding BORG_CACHE_IMPL).
One cannot "to not x", but one can "not to x".
Avoiding split infinitives gives the added bonus that machine
translation yields better results.
setup (n/adj) vs set(v) up. We don't "I setup it" but "I set it up".
Likewise for login(n/adj) and log(v) in, backup(n/adj) and back(v) up.
