With this change it is possible to dump a folder to stdout as a tar. The
It can be used just like the normal dump command:
`./restic dump fa97e6e1 "/data/test/" > test.tar`
Where `/data/test/` is a a folder instead of a file.
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.
Go can cross compile to older ARM architectures (e.g. v5). In order to
do so one needs to use the GOARM parameter as documented in
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoArm
It fails on pre-release versions, anyway. It's enough to mention the oldest
supported version in README.md. Anything older than two latest Go releases
is bad idea, anyway, 'cause it's unsupported by Go development team.
Closes #680
The resulting command structure is almost compatible to that of that gb
reference project (example-gsftp), as the subfolder for commands is
'cmds' instead of 'cmd'.
Previously, when a VERSION file exists it takes precendence over the
git version. This is unfortunate because all restic binaries compiled
from a git checkout will just identify as the latest release (e.g.
'0.1.0'), regardeless of any commits on top of it.
This commit adds a combined version string by using the contents of
the VERSION file, and append the current git version returned by `git
describe` if available, e.g.:
0.1.0 (v0.1.0-6-gb188217-dirty).
