[Box Backup] 0.05PLUS2

[Ben Summers]

I've just uploaded 0.05PLUS2.

   http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/bin/boxbackup-0.05PLUS2.tgz

I'd like to release it as 0.06 early next week, so would appreciate 
feedback. I'm considering advertising it as stable but not feature 
complete -- would this be too early?


Changes from 0.05PLUS1B:

* Backup locations which are removed from the .conf file are now 
deleted from the server after two days.

* I've made a few build infrastructure changes and rearranged some of 
the files (so I'd like to check it compiles on all platforms)

* Minor fix to the store directory checking.

Speaking of directory store checking, I only had one report of the 
results of checking a store directory -- I really need some more! 
(Notes from a previous email below.)

Thanks for all your patience trying out these preview releases!

===========================

Account checking: If you do something like

   /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts check 31

account 31 will be checked for errors. If you do

   /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts check 31 fix

these errors will be fixed.

It may take a while to run, but will get all the readable files into a 
state where they can be restored, and repair all the problems which may 
cause the server to give errors. So if you have problems when files get 
corrupted (eg an unclean shutdown corrupts a file or two) then this 
should sort it out.

I'd like to make sure that it's working correctly. If you could check 
some real-life accounts (without the fix option!) and report back, that 
would be appreciated.

This doesn't fix errors in the underlying raid file system, I'm writing 
a separate utility to do that.
