Binary BorgBackup builds
========================

The binaries are supposed to work on the specified platform without installing
any dependencies.


Download the correct files
--------------------------

amd64 / x86_64 architecture
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

borg-linux-glibc236 Linux (built on Debian 12 "Bookworm" with glibc 2.36)
borg-linux-glibc231 Linux (built on Debian 11 "Bullseye" with glibc 2.31)
                    Note: you can also try them on other Linuxes with other glibc
                    versions - as long as the glibc is compatible, they will work.
                    If it doesn't work, try a borg 1.4.x or 1.2.x binary.

borg-macos1012      macOS (built on macOS Sierra 10.12 with latest macFUSE from brew)
                    To avoid signing issues download the file via command line OR
                    remove the "quarantine" attribute after downloading:
                    $ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine borg-macos.tgz

borg-freebsd14      FreeBSD (built on FreeBSD 14)

*.tgz               similar to above, but built as a directory with files,
                    not as a single self-extracting binary.
*.asc               GnuPG signatures for *


Verifying your download
-----------------------

Please check the GPG signature to make sure you received the binary as I have
built it.

To check the GPG signature, download both the binary and the corresponding
*.asc file and then (on the shell) type, e.g.:

    gpg --recv-keys 9F88FB52FAF7B393
    gpg --verify borg-freebsd14.asc borg-freebsd14

The files are signed by:

Thomas Waldmann <tw@waldmann-edv.de>
GPG key fingerprint: 6D5B EF9A DD20 7580 5747 B70F 9F88 FB52 FAF7 B393

My fingerprint is also in the footer of all my borgbackup mailing list posts.


Installing
----------

It is suggested that you rename or symlink the binary to just "borg".

On UNIX-like platforms, /usr/local/bin/ or ~/bin/ is a nice place for it,
but you can invoke it from every place by giving a full path to it.

Make sure the file is readable and executable (chmod +rx borg on UNIX-like
platforms).


Reporting issues
----------------
If you find issues, please open a ticket on our issue tracker:

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/

There, please give:
- the version number (it is displayed if you invoke borg -V)
- the sha256sum of the binary
- a good description of what the issue is
- a good description of how to reproduce your issue
- a traceback with system info (if you have one)
- your precise platform (CPU, 32/64bit?), OS, distribution, release
- your python and (g)libc version
