[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] fix #2998: encode mtime as i64 instead of u64

Dominik Csapak d.csapak at proxmox.com
Wed Oct 21 14:32:37 CEST 2020


saves files mtime as i64 instead of u64 which enables backup of
files with negative mtime

the catalog_decode_i64 is compatible to encoded u64 values (if < 2^63)
but not reverse, so all "old" catalogs can be read with the new
decoder, but catalogs that contain negative mtimes will decode wrongly
on older clients

also remove the arbitrary maximum value of 2^63 - 1 for
encode_u64 (we just use up to 10 bytes now) and correctly
decode them and update the comments accordingly
