Doc Text:	.ReaR has been updated to version 2.6 Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) has been updated to version 2.6. Notable bug fixes and enhancements include: * Added support for `eMMC` devices. * By default, all kernel modules are included in the rescue system. To include specific modules, set the `MODULES` array variable in the configuration file as: `MODULES=( mod1 mod2 )` * On the AMD and Intel 64-bit architectures and on IBM Power Systems, Little Endian, a new configuration variable `GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES` is introduced to control the location of the bootloader installation. See the description in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf` for more details. * Improved backup of multipath devices. * Files under `/media`, `/run`, `/mnt`, `/tmp` are automatically excluded from backups as these directories are known to contain removable media or temporary files. See the description of the AUTOEXCLUDE_PATH variable in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf`. * `CLONE_ALL_USERS_GROUPS=true` is now the default. See the description in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf` for more details.	Story Points:	---

Description Pavel Cahyna 2021-07-30 16:31:35 UTC

ReaR should be rebased to 2.6, otherwise the amount of patching to support S/390 (bz1868421) will be too extensive. Rebase will also partly solve bz1983003.

List of changes: http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-6 and http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-5, we have many of them as backports though.
