The code always assumed that the upgrade happens in place. Thus writing
the upgrade to a separate file fails, when trying to remove the file
stored at that location.
The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
This package is no longer needed, since we can use the stdlib's
http.NewRequestWithContext.
backend/rclone already did, but it needed a different error check due to
a difference between net/http and ctxhttp.
Also, store the http.Client by value in the REST backend (changed to a
pointer when ctxhttp was introduced) and use errors.WithStack instead
of errors.Wrap where the message was no longer accurate. Errors from
http.NewRequestWithContext will start with "net/http" or "net/url", so
they're easy to identify.
* Write new file payload to a temp file before touching the original
binary. Minimizes the possibility of failing mid-write and corrupting
the binary.
* On Windows, move the original binary out to a temp file rather than
removing it as the running binary is locked. Fixes issue #2248.
This commit adds a command called `self-update` which downloads the
latest released version of restic from GitHub and replacing the current
binary with it. It does not rely on any external program (so it'll work
everywhere), but still verifies the GPG signature using the embedded GPG
public key.
By default, the `self-update` command is hidden behind the `selfupdate`
built tag, which is only set when restic is built using `build.go`. The
reason for this is that downstream distributions will then not include
the command by default, so users are encouraged to use the
platform-specific distribution mechanism.
