Any plans to make a new BIT-package bit for version 1.1.x? Cheers, Roman

New upstream release https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/releases/tag/v1.1.10
Nonresponsive maintainer process started. https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1542
Anitya finds version 1.1.12 at upstream.
Could the package maintainer, please give some feedback? If you need a co-maintainer, just raise your voice. Otherwise we will initiate the non-responsive package maintainer procedure.
Hi Hannes, I would like to take this package. See my comment #5 and the linked ticket about already started nonresponsive maintainer procedure. This is my second try with needinfo, besides other people have already requested a response in prior.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Hi Hannes, I have a buildable spec file for backintime 1.1.12 but it needs some cosmetics to comply with all guidelines.
Could you upload it somewhere? I also have one, but I think we can only provide the new backintime for rawhide and for f24. For older releases it's not possible with all the change. Additional I thought about making some links, so that the shortcuts backintime-gnome and backintime-kde might work still. But don't know if that's good, since it would hide the changes.
(In reply to hannes from comment #12) > Could you upload it somewhere? I have based it on your work with small improvements. Some folder ownerships are still not fully right and not sure about the files renaming and generation done in %install, fedora-review tool should tell. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/backintime.git/commit/?id=14cdfbdda47d20e46e34d4a80615bf2d4fef5749 > I also have one, but I think we can only > provide the new backintime for rawhide and for f24.

Rawhide only is sufficient but if someone needs it for f24, no problem. > Additional I thought about making some links, so that the shortcuts > backintime-gnome and backintime-kde might work still.

We should poke upstream about a port to qt5, cause qt4 development is dead since several months. Qt 4.8.7 is the last one of that 4 series. http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/05/26/qt-4-8-7-released/ Well, yeah the upgrade path is somehow critical. We obviously need to investigate further.
About the qt5 support - https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/518 Version 1.1.12 has been made available for f23 by mhoeher $ rpm -qa | grep backintime backintime-1.1.12-0.fc23.noarch backintime-qt4-1.1.12-0.fc23.noarch https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mhoeher/backintime/

The fc24 package appears to work fine in fc23. There is a data-destroying bug in the current version (1.0.36) for fc23: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backintime/+bug/1374343 Could this be considered for release in fc23? If not, can an update to at least 1.0.38 be done? Thanks.
Hi Cott, unfortunately updating to the latest version is not really an option for f23. It is against the update guidelines, since the structure of the package and the available GUI options changed quite a bit. I think the best and easiest way would be to use the copr for all releases <24. An update to 1.0.38 is not really an option unless someone else helps out, since at least I don't have time for this, sorry.

Can we close here? I'm a co-maintainer and agree with hannes about the b0rken upgrade path. Please either update to Fedora 24 or use copr.
