Up: elfutils to 0.149. Fixed it to build in clean chroot. Fixed it also to download sources with real wget by since sources are on https host. So now elfutils can download its sources just fine.

1 BoxBackup Client (bbackupd)
3 BoxBackup is designed to be easy to set up and run, and cheap to use.
4 Once set up, there should be no need for user or administrative
5 intervention, apart from usual system maintenance.
7 bbackupd is configured with a list of directories to back up. It has a
8 lazy approach to backing up data. Every so often, the directories are
9 scanned, and new data is uploaded to the server.
11 The daemon is always running, although sleeping most of the time. In
12 lazy mode, it is completely self contained - scripts running under cron
13 jobs are not used.
15 If an old version of the file is present on the server, a modified
16 version of the rsync algorithm is used to upload only the changed
17 portions of the file.
19 After a new version is uploaded, the old version is still available
20 (subject to disc space on the server). Similarly, a deleted file is
21 still available. The only limit to their availability is space allocated
22 to this account on the server.
