Hello,
It seems that it is becoming more frequent (probably because of the increasing
number of Bacula users) that users submit support questions to the bugs
database. This morning a user submitted a bug stating that the WildFile
option was broken. Normally, I would have dismissed this as a support problem
because most of us realize that wild-cards and regexes are awfully tricky.
However, this user presented a *really* simple case with debug output, so I
took a look at it, and surprise both WildFile and RegexFile are broken
because they match against the full path and filename rather than just the
filename.
I wonder how many users have torn out their hair trying to figure out why
WildFile or RegexFile didn't work :-(
Now, since this involves the FD, I cannot just provide a patch (because
building your own Win32 FD is not something I expect you to do), so I'll be
making a 1.38.8 release. However, I am thinking about taking another week or
two to do this so that I can back port Thorsten's code that allows restoring
"non-portable" Windows backup data to any OS. Thorsten simply took the time
and effort to pick apart the Microsoft BackupRead stream data.
The downside is that this will delay the Migration code ...
For those of you who are for or against the new 1.38.6 code that takes Volumes
from the Scratch pool earlier in the algorithm, now is the time to make your
case. At this point, unless someone can convince me otherwise (again), I am
inclined to put it back to the 1.38.5 behavior (i.e. remove the early Scratch
pool selection).
