Hi Steve. Thanks for making that. This will be very useful for me upgrading a server. I'm wondering if there is a location where this can be obtained that doesn't require a login to obtain? Even with KeePass the number of logins I have to maintain for one-shot downloads is becoming appalling. Why they enforce logins for downloads is beyond me, but that's outside this discussion.stevepusser wrote:Timeshift 18.9 Jessie and Stretch backports: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... /timeshift
Not to be too critical, but I find it mildly ironic that Scorpion's feet were being held to the fire for installing "random" stuff from "random" web sites and then one of the solutions that was proposed for the future is that he install a random version of Timeshift from an unofficial location following instructions in a random forum thread. If we want novices not to do that sort of behaviour, perhaps we shouldn't encourage it here. We can't hold novices to the standard of being able to discern good advice from bad advice, so we need to hold them to the standard of best practices. And if installing random packages from unofficial sources is, as is suggested here and which I agree with, not a best practice for a novice, then what do we need to do to get Timeshift 18.9 in as an official backport to Jessie and Stretch? This so that it can be suggested to other novices without asking them to violate best practices.
