I used to use restic self-update
, it is mentioned in the release blog for 0.16.4 and available under Ubuntu 22.04.
With a recent Ubuntu 24.04 installation, self-update
is gone from the commands:
unknown command "self-update" for "restic"
I installed it via apt
(not snap
) from the command line.
I can answer the first part now, myself: Ubuntu removed self-update
: https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/r/restic/restic_0.16.4-2/changelog I can’t find the mentioned issue so I can’t read the reasons behind, but I have to say, I find it rather intrusive to alter upstream programs that way.
Does anyone know why?
