GitHub Enterprise Backup Utilities v2.4.0

on GitHub

Includes general improvements, bug fixes, and support for GitHub Enterprise v2.4. This upgrade is recommended for all currently supported GitHub Enterprise versions.

• Moves the in-progress detection to a separate file with PID which is removed if the process is no longer running after the backup. #145, #99
• Updates the README to explain why backup-utils is useful even if you have the high availability replica running. #140
• Changes the use of the --link-dest option to only occur when backing up populated directories. #138
• Adds logging to /var/log/syslog on the remote GitHub Enterprise appliance to both ghe-backup and ghe-restore. #131
• Restarts memcached after restoring to an already configured appliance to ensure it doesn't contain out-of-sync information. #130
• Removes the temporary /data/user/repositories-nw-backup directory that remains after successfully migrating the repository storage layout to the new format used on GitHub Enterprise 2.2.0 and later after restoring a backup from an older release of GitHub Enterprise. #129
• Add devscripts to Debian's build-depends for checkbashisms. #101
• Documents the -c option which forces the restoration of the configuration information to an already configured appliance. #96
