I think it was dropped for a while as it focused on BTRFS (fedora) which RHEL doesn’t use. However, it can still be used on RHEL/clones using the rsync option.
Even has a nice GUI… AND you can include non-system files eg. home dirs in the snapshot. Though it seems you have to use from the command line if you want to create an adhoc (unscheduled) snapshot.
Definitely worth a look. (though I haven’t tested it yet myself).
You’re welcome. If you haven’t already seen it EPEL Package Request details how to get missing apps included. ( I just put a request in for exa in epel 8. It’s already in epel 9 )
Thanks, I might want/have to add a few request there later. I saved the page for now.
Yes, the difference between packages in 8 and 9 is a bit frustrating sometimes. With both old and new hardware, I need to use both (ie. rl9+ = x86_64-v2).
Seems adding rust to the giant fragmentation party hasn’t helped. Who’d-a-thought ? Not a part of 8 so building stuff written in it (eg. exa) for 8 more complicated/time consuming than in 9 and hence likely to be overlooked it seems.
I cried when I read the other day that " In December 2022, Rust became the second high-level language to be supported in the development of the Linux kernel, the first being C". Skimming the blurb rust appears to be a re-run of the same thinking that got us the waste-of-time-broken-promises pig that is Java, the insanity of Javascript and the pointlessness of python - no lessons learnt there then, the tower of babel grows ever higher.
