@graysky Can you please update this package to 1.5.6? There's a fix for a crash when managing profiles that appeared with the release of qt6.

@graysky by reading the two PKBUILDS indeed I've seen that they are the same so I do not understand how and why two different pages are present in the AUR. Moreover is it not clear to me how to prevent the building of the backintime one if I want only backintime-cli being built, should I use any option?

@buthz: Also, there are no two copies. They both refer to the same package base file in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/backintime. It is all the same file.

But the PKGBUILD file is identical for both packages.

This package seems identical to the backintime one that depends on it. Why do we have two packages with the same PKGBUILD?
It is a split package to give user the option to have a cli only (backintime-cli) or both the cli and the qt6 GUI (backintime). I highly recommend that you ALWAYS read the PKGBUILD before installing anything from the AUR. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Advisorary_statements

Hello Graysky, you might have missed the question from Xwang? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/backintime-cli#comment-1034790 I am also interested in the answer. Regards, Christian

Like any package, some TU needs to adopt it. Why do you care about that exactly? It builds really fast.
Xwang commented on 2025-08-04 16:32 (UTC)
@graysky is there any possibility that this package will ever reach the official repo?

Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.
Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.
