+Why was Borg forked from Attic?
|
|
|
+ Borg was created in may 2015 in response to the difficulty of
|
|
|
+ getting new merge requests and larger changes incorporated into
|
|
|
+ attic. more details can be found in the fairly long discussion
|
|
|
+ in attic issue queue (found in `ticket 217
|
|
|
+ <https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/217>`_) that led to the fork.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Borg intends to be:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * simple:
|
|
|
+ * as simple as possible, but no simpler
|
|
|
+ * do the right thing by default, but offer options
|
|
|
+ * open:
|
|
|
+ * welcome feature requests
|
|
|
+ * accept pull requests of good quality and coding style
|
|
|
+ * give feedback on PRs that can't be accepted "as is"
|
|
|
+ * discuss openly, don't work in the dark
|
|
|
+ * changing:
|
|
|
+ * do not break compatibility accidentally, without a good reason
|
|
|
+ or without warning
|
|
|
+ * Borg is not backwards-compatible with attic
|
|
|
+ * major versions may not be compatible with older releases
