As far as I can tell, upstream deleted that tag as it never was not a proper release, according to them. See https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/commit/105122b142a45e57f35fb9e5e8cc08c435021528.

I've pushed a change so the version is now 2.2.6, which is their last release: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/v2.2.6.

This will require a manual downgrade for those who have 2.4.0 installed. Either that or I can bump the epoch.

I ran into bug #892 filed upstream (ActionListTest.test_action_listincrements fails in sufficiently-negative-from-UTC timezones https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/892) and have created a patch based on the fix listed in task 893 (https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/pull/893). Please add the following patch to this package, which can be removed once commit d8c2f68 is included in a release tag upstream: https://termbin.com/r0jl

@carsme currently there seems to be a bit of a mess with python 3.11 related packages on Arch32. So downgraded them all to the python 3.10 versions. After that I was able to build and run rdiff-backup 2.2.5-3 on my pentum4 (not i686 like I wrote earlier) Arch32 system.

@rwd2 I'm fairly certain you won't be able to cross-compile this, so I would focus on getting the PKGBUILD to work on your Arch Linux 32 system.

The wiki article is about packaging 32-bit software for other architectures, what you're trying to do is the opposite - packaging (potentially) 64-bit software for a 32-bit system. So you should avoid any of the instructions in it.

arch=(any) means that the built package is architecture independent, which is not the case for this package as it contains the shared library /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rdiff_backup/C.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so.

Try adding i686 to the arch array instead:

arch=(x86_64 i686)

Not sure this will fix your build issues though.

The log you posted seems to indicate something is wrong with the build process for Python. Could you check the versions of the components involved?

$ pacman -Q python-setuptools python-wheel python-build
python-setuptools 1:68.0.0-1
python-wheel 0.40.0-3
python-build 0.10.0-4

My suspicion is that this is unrelated to rdiff-backup and has to do with the Python packaging on Arch Linux 32. I've never packaged on a 32-bit system though so this is just a guess.

Let me know how it goes!

@carsme: I tried compiling on my arch32 system. I changed the value of arch in PKGBUILD to 'any', and then did a 'makepkg -rs'. I get errors, but they seem to be about the build environment rather than rdiff-backup : https://pastebin.com/A1Cc3u04. I will ask on the arch32 forums.

Would cross compiling on a x86_64 arch system be possible? I know 32 bit support was dropped in Ach so I can imagine the tools/libraries to do that are no longer there.

carsme commented on 2023-08-09 08:07 (UTC)

@rwd2 I'm not able to test that myself, but if you can test it and confirm that it works on i686 I'll add it arch.

rwd2 commented on 2023-08-08 19:22 (UTC)

Would it be possible to add i686 support as well? I am running an old version of rdiff-backup on arch32, and the package is about to be dropped from the repository.

Thank you for reporting and investigating the issues, @apocalyptech and @muesli4. Appreciate it!

To mitigate these I've:

  • confirmed that building in a tmpfs causes some tests to fail and disabled these (testing/eas_aclstest.py and testing/fs_abilitiestest.py).
  • applied the patch that should solve the timezone issue.

See be9bc4c16760 for further details.

Hopefully the package is buildable for you now, if not let me know.

muesli4 commented on 2023-07-04 20:28 (UTC)

I have test whether my filesystem does support them and can confirm. But I found that these are not the only errors. I created an issue in the project: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/897
