Hi Reinhard,

Could you have a look at this patch (documented here) to see if it's something like what you were hoping for?

Hi Chris,

I've uploaded this patch now to unstable, looks good, thanks for the patch. It is still about 80k big, thoguh :-( - quite a lot to review manually. Most of it is actually test code though!

Unfortunately, I have bad news. I totally missed that boxbackup has already been removed on 23 Sep 2018: https://tracker.debian.org/news/989096/boxbackup-removed-from-testing/

That's a bummer, because the freeze guidelines rule out migration of packages that aren't part of testing since beginning of February (cf. https://release.debian.org/buster/freeze_policy.html).

Sorry about that, that's totally on me, I should have been more vocal about this end of last year and totally dropped the ball here.

I guess we'll have to go the backports route then.

Best,

-rt
