Description Pavel Cahyna 2019-02-15 17:59:29 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1655956 +++

Description of problem:

Usually $BUILD_DIR hosted on /tmp and hence automatically excluded from the backup.
When specifying $TMPDIR, $BUILD_DIR was not excluded from the backup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify a TMPDIR alternate directory in environment or /etc/rear/{local,site}.conf

  # mkdir /temporary
  # TMPDIR=/temporary rear mkbackup

2. Check the backup content

  # tar tzvf /path/to/the/backup.tar.gz | grep "^temporary/rear"

Actual results:

  drwxr-xr-x root/root                0 2018-12-04 10:44 temporary/rear.XXX

Expected results:

  No rear temp directory

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-03-04 16:34:27 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 30-beta by Fedora user jlanda using the blocker tracking app because:

 Gnome 3.32 changed System folder to Utilities in gnome-shell. This would be great to be fixed for f30

This must be a mistake.

Yeah, it was a typo by someone using the Fedora blocker bugs webapp - sorry about that.

Comment 4 Pavel Cahyna 2019-05-28 08:26:30 UTC

Moving to 8.1.0, I think 8.0.1 was my mistake. There is not other 8.0.1 bug for ReaR and the branch was not created.
