I've recently started experimenting with Borg as a deduplicating
backup system ('dnf install borgbackup'). Think 'duplicity' on steroids.
However there are many quite complex configuration options and a number
of efforts exist to make things simpler for the average user, especially
when setting up an automated backup regime (the only kind of backup
that's worth a candle of course).
One of these is a Python3 script called Borgmatic (https://torsion.org/
borgmatic/), which is easy to install using pip3 but needs some minor
tweaking to run on Fedora (it installs in /usr/local/bin, which is not
in the default PATH for sudo). It would be much more elegant if this
could be done as a proper Fedora package and installed in /usr/bin.
I've been in touch with the creator and although he has no issue with
this happening he's not a Fedora user himself. I'm not volunteering to
do it either because a) I have no experience of package creation and
maintenance, and b) Borg itself is already maintained as part of
Fedora, so the logical step would be for the Fedora maintainer to take
it on. What is the approved process for suggesting this?
