we know what we are looking at already...

of contents.

e7f25d7821 docs: use zlib,6 compression in some examples, fixes #275 
This is what attic used by default, but borgbackup defaults to "no compression".

I just adjusted the command invocation, so we can keep the example output
(which shows that stuff was compressed).

Also: add FAQ item about compression.

da926f2eb4 docs: fix code blocks in installation.rst 
In one case removed the |project_name| and |git_url| variables to fix
the display of the code block. Shouldn't be problematic, as they are not
used consistently in this document anyway.

Put two notes in their own nice '.. note::' blocks.

fb62435fc6 docs: remove 'Additional Notes' from TOC, fix markup 
What's covered in the 'Additional Notes' section of the documentation
hardly seems important enough to deserve its own entry in the sidebar.

6f9e04bc21 generalise the cython check hack 
instead of applying this only to usage generation, use it as a generic
mechanism to disable loading of Cython code.

it may be incomplete: there may be other places where Cython code is
loaded that is not checked, but that is sufficient to build the usage
docs. the environment variable used is documented as such in the
docs/usage.rst.

we also move the check to a helper function and document it
better. this has the unfortunate side effect of moving includes
around, but I can't think of a better way.

ee66c4c435 remove docs about binary wheels 
we stop supporting them, because there are better alternatives:
- use a distribution package (from your linux distribution), if available
- use a pyinstaller binary provided by us (they include all you need in 1 file and
  thus have better compatibility properties and are easier to install than a wheel)
- install from source (pypi or git) if everything else fails

a0ef4e25dd add support for arbitrary SSH commands (attic#99) 
while SSH options can be specified through `~/.ssh/config`, some users
may want to use a completely different SSH command for their backups,
without overriding their $PATH variable. it may also be easier to do
ad-hoc configuration and tests that way.

plus, the POLA tells us that users expects something like this to be
supported by commands that talk to ssh. it is supported by rsync, git
and so on.

add automatically generated API
 2015-10-01 19:52:15 +02:00
Antoine Beaupré
a2cf0025c2 add automatically generated API 
this is a crude hack for now, and could use a better table of contents

but at least we have some way of linking and showing the different
internal functions

the next phase here is obviously to document that API through the
addition of docstrings. a static api.rst could also be easier to read,
but maybe that could go through some docstrings as well, to be tested

right now, the update_usage script regenerates the usage files at

by moving this into the makefile, we make those files be generated

9ead4097cf we are now on #borgbackup on chat.freenode.net 
it seems like there is currently no bureaucracy required, freenode web site says group registration is suspended.
i also asked on the freenode channel, they said just make sure you are right here and use it. so we do that now.

54e8dd8419 misc chunker parameter changes 
- use power-of-2 sizes / n bit hash mask so one can give them more easily
- chunker api: give seed first, so we can give *chunker_params after it
- fix some tests that aren't possible with 2^N
- make sparse file extraction zero detection flexible for variable chunk max size

35d06afd6b get rid of some .borg, be consistent with the backup repo name and path 
it's pretty useless to have .borg as a directory extension, especially
since there is a README in there stating that this is a borg repo.

conistency:
"backup" is always used as relative backup repository path
"/mnt/backup" is always used as absolute repository path

cb5c9b63b3 fork: s/attic/borg/g, fix URLs, add new section to AUTHORS 
use borg instead attic except at the places where it was used:
- as toplevel package name, directory name, file name
- to refer to original attic

remove sphinx upload make command, will be replaced by github.io site later

remove references to binary downloads and linux packages for now

remove some software name references, fix grammar

use borgbackup rather than borg-backup (or borg) in URLs,
less name collision issues, better search results, no validity issues with "-"
