[pbs-devel] [PATCH v3 proxmox proxmox-backup 0/4] fix 4788: statically linked proxmox-backup-client

[Lukas Wagner]

Gave this a quick test on the latest master.

$ make proxmox-backup-client-static
[...]
$ ldd target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/proxmox-backup-client
        statically linked

Nice! :)

Tested a couple of commands against my local PBS instance. One thing that tripped me
up was that hickory-dns does not like plain hostnames when resolving IPs
from /etc/hosts:

This does NOT work:

  $ cat /etc/hosts
  192.168.xxx.xxx pbs

  $ export PBS_REPOSITORY=pbs:store
  $ ./proxmox-backup-client ...


This works:

  $ cat /etc/hosts
  192.168.xxx.xxx pbs.example.com

  $ export PBS_REPOSITORY=pbs.example.com:store
  $ ./proxmox-backup-client ...

I did not really dig any deeper, but any obvious differences in name
resolution which could trip up users should probably be documented in
some form.
