Testfiles as of 10th of August, 2019

The archive rdiff-backup_testfiles_2019-08-10.tar.gz needs to be extracted as root in the same directory where the git repository lies, so that the tox-tests can be successful as per the variable old_test_dir in testing/commontest.py pointing to ${PWD}_testfiles.

The extraction as root (e.g. sudo tar xvzf rdiff-backup_testfiles_ISORELEASEDATE.tar.gz) is sadly necessary because else the device files won't be extracted as normal user. You then possibly need to fix as root the access rights so that the user/group you're using normally in your daily development life is set instead of my user and group 1000. For this you may use the script in the archive and call sudo ./rdiff-backup_testfile.fix.sh.

The main difference to the version from the 28th of June are that files with broken Unicode encoding are again part of the recovery tests.

You then possibly need to fix as root the access rights so that the user/group you're using normally in your daily development life is set instead of my user and group 1000:

find rdiff-backup_testfiles -user 1000 \! -type l -print0 | xargs -0 chown youruser
find rdiff-backup_testfiles -group 1000 \! -type l -print0 | xargs -0 chgrp yourgroup
find rdiff-backup_testfiles -user 1000 -type l -print0 | xargs -0 chown -h youruser
find rdiff-backup_testfiles -group 1000 -type l -print0 | xargs -0 chgrp -h yourgroup

The main difference to the version from the 8th of June are corrections to the files access rights for the root tests.

The extraction as root (e.g. sudo tar xvzf rdiff-backup_testfiles_2019-06-02.tar.gz) is sadly necessary because else the device files won't be extracted as normal user. It has also the advantage to protect the input test files from being modified during the tests.

The main difference to the version from the 2nd of June is a fixed restore3 backup directory, so that the restore tests could get successful.
