This is currently work in progress for the upcoming ReaR 2.7 release, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2751


* Update default.conf :
In default.conf describe that when OUTPUT_URL is set
OUTPUT_OPTIONS does not inherit the BACKUP_OPTIONS value
cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2753

* Include dmsetup and dmeventd as PROGS in conf/GNU/Linux.conf
because older releases of os-prober (1.74 and below) use dmsetup
as a fallback solution for mounting when grub-mount is missing
but without dmsetup and dmeventd also in the recovery system
that would block indefinitely at "Installing GRUB2 boot loader...",
for details see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2748

* In the function cmdline_add_console in lib/serial-functions.sh
add 'console=tty0' as fallback to cmdline only if no real serial device was found
otherwise on a machine with e.g. ttyS0 and ttyS1 where only ttyS0 is real
only kernel messages (but nothing else) would appear on ttyS0,
see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2749

* Skip unneeded /usr/lib*/syslog-ng/loggen/ from recovery system:
In conf/GNU/Linux.conf do no longer copy all in /usr/lib*/syslog-ng/*
but only copy .so files in /usr/lib*/syslog-ng/ (same as for rsyslog).
This skips in particular /usr/lib*/syslog-ng/loggen/
because 'loggen' is not included in the recovery system
('loggen' does not appear in any ReaR code).
See https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2743

* For BACKUP=CDM removed need for the whole /usr/lib64 in the recovery system.
See https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2747 and the related issues
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2266
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2314
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2685
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2700

* Update 400_copy_modules.sh :
Do no longer error out if 'cp -a -L' failed to to copy all contents of /lib/modules/...
but only tell the user about the issue so he could inspect his system and decide,
see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2739#issuecomment-1014304127

* Support for HTTP sources when using PXE:
There is a new config variable PXE_HTTP_URL to specify the HTTP download source for PXE.
If the variable is set the PXE config file will generate an additional 3rd boot option
(besides the unchanged standard options "rear" via TFTP and "local") namely "rear-http"
which includes the HTTP URL information to download the kernel and initrd data.
See https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2738

* Also add ssh-add prog when ssh-agent is added.
Since ssh-agent gets added it makes sense to add ssh-add as well.
See https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2729

* In layout/prepare/default/420_autoresize_last_partitions.sh
automatically resize active last partitions on RAID0 disks,
