sysutils/bup: Update to 0.33.2
Upstream NEWS less some bugfixes and minor improvements:
Notable changes in 0.33 since 0.32
Python 3 is now required, in particular 3.7 or newer.
The version of Python is no longer determined by the value of PYTHON
during ./configure. It is now determined by the version of
python-config selected during configuration. The BUP_PYTHON_CONFIG
environment variable can be set during configuration to select a
particular executable (e.g. BUP_PYTHON_CONFIG=python3.9-config
./configure). See the README for further details.
The bup executable is now a binary rather than a Python
script. Practically speaking, this means that the Python version is
determined by the libpython that the executable is linked against
(selected via python-config), and it means that bup will show up as
"bup" in process listings rather than a python invocation.
The output of bup ls for multiple paths includes each path before
its contents, more closely matching the system ls.
The bup ftp ls command should now respect the working directory (set
by cd), and that directory has been added to the prompt.
The index-cache is no longer included in the bup midx --dir default.
Performance may have improved after the relocation of a number of
operations from Python to C, and a number of improvements to the
VFS.
Bugs
Bup should now respect the current umask, directory sgid bit,
etc. when creating new files (e.g. new packfiles). Previously, it
would create them via mkstemp, which would cause them to be readable
only by the current user.
Bup should now be able to handle repositories containing signed
commits.
bup tag has been changed to rely on git update-ref instead of
writing the (loose) refs directly so that it can handle packed refs
correctly.
bup save should be more careful about noting an error and skipping
paths whose type (link, regular file, ...) has changed since
indexing.
There should no longer be a narrow window where save could store
conflicting symlink targets or conflicting sizes (in the metadata
record and the packfile symlink blob) for a path if the filesystem
changed at just the wrong time during a save.
bup fuse should no longer become unusable after an unfinished read
of commits associated with tags. The underlying VFS issue may have
affected other commands too.
Bup's packfile names should now match git's. Previously bup computed
the SHA1 from just the sorted object list (cf. git-index-pack(1)),
but git appears to include the entire pack file in the hash.
Passing idx files to bup midx along with --dir should now work
correctly.
Resource usage (e.g. memory) may have improved, given a number of
changes intended to make bup release resources more carefully and
sooner.
Build and install
The build process should now work on systems where make isn't GNU
Make (the Makefile automatically redirects to GNUmakefile).
