Enhancement: Add new command `self-update`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have added a new command called `self-update` which downloads the
|
||
|
|
latest released version of restic from GitHub and replaces 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` (including
|
||
|
|
official releases). 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.
