Arno and Ashkan,
Is there any issue if I install it from your tarball, or shall I create first a PKGBUILD. which is normally the safest way.
Their is no issue with just following the instructions and using the Python installer, except that if you want to remove the package you have to do it manually. That being said, you should always create a native package for your distro of choice, simply to have better package organization and house keeping. If you create a PKGBUILD, would you share it with me, I have not had the time to research writing one?
i'm very interesting to use this app. but i usually use svn to backup /etc on my linux boxes.
SVN is a great tool and I use it as well for backing up certain items, such as our DNS zone files (which is also backed using mime). After you start using mime to backup your system, it give the feel of having your entire file system under source control. This is because each backup that is made creates a new copy of your file system which builds a history of your files. The lsmime tool that installs with it also provides the ability to do a diff on a file and compare it to a version from your backups, and their is a "lsmime changes" command that works similarly to "svn status". Thank you Squall -- Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.
