Hi,

Thanks for this.

On EPEL 5, I got no joy. The error message was always:

BackendException: Boto requires a bucket name
This is coming from line 155 of /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/backends/botobackend.py

This was both without the duplicity --s3-use-new-style option, which is not supported by python-boto-1.0a (which the duplicity S3 (boto) backend uses) which is in EPEL 5.
(Note that this also means that users cannot use Amazon S3's European buckets, as for these --s3-use-new-style is mandatory: though mine is actually a US bucket so it should work without).

I then obtained python-boto-1.9 from rpmforge, and tried with that, and it worked.

So I think the python-boto package needs an update too in EPEL 5, otherwise S3 is still not working. I don't know enough to advise which version to use, all I can say is that 1.9 from rpmforge works.

I'm going to prepare a python-boto update for EL-5, soon. If I let you know,
will you be able to test this python-boto update a lot?

I'm not a python programmer, and the only part of python-boto I'm using is the S3 component - it seems to have many others. So all I can promise is that I'll test out duplicity via S3 thoroughly, but with other stuff I don't have the abilities I'm afraid - might be best to recruit testers from fedora-devel or something like that.

(Correction to earlier - the one from rpmforge is 1.9b, not 1.9)

I've been using the version from epel-testing with python-boto from rpmforge with no problems for 3 weeks now.

python-boto-1.9b-6.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5.

The update, I've submitted should be better than what RPMforge delivers,
because they never checked at all whether it is Python 2.4 compatible. I
at least fixed some issues to avoid Python syntax errors.

Please test this package and if it works, add positive karma to both, the
duplicity one and the python-boto one. Thank you.
