Description Jonathan Billings 2023-04-26 19:53:48 UTC
Deja-Dup has a "Labs" section of the settings that is only enabled if you enable certain options when building Deja Dup.  

The Fedora RPM for deja-dup only uses Duplicity as the backend, but the Flatpak build configuration in the source for Deja Dup has it enabled, and it's what you get if you install the Flathub version of Deja Dup:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/blob/main/flatpak/org.gnome.DejaDupDevel.yaml#L47

Could we add the Restic backend option to the Fedora RPM? I feel like restic is a lot faster than duplicity when backing up to Google Drive.

There's some feedback here: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/issues/192 

This would mean that restic and rclone would be recommended dependencies.


Reproducible: Always

Interesting. I'll take a look and probably enable restic. Thanks!

I have some small notes about enabling it in my packaging docs: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/blob/main/PACKAGING.md#restic

I noticed there's also PackageKit support to automatically install dependencies, how effective would that be in Fedora?

Recommends: should suffice.
