How to get Borg 1.4.1 for arm64 (like for Raspberry Pi 4)

[garret]

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 where I have been using the 64bit arm binaries from https://borg.bauerj.eu
Unfortunately, there are still no 1.4.1 builds available. An issue has been opened but probably the author is busy with other things in life :)

Could someone help me in how to get a build for Raspberry Pi running Debian Bullseye (11) in 64 bit version?

I tried cloning that git repo and giving:

./build.sh aarch64 1.4.1
./extract.sh aarch64 1.4.1 borg-aarch64

However, when I move the binary into the Raspberry Pi, and give ./borg-aarch64 -V I get 1.4.0 as version.

Also tried to dpkg -i the 1.4.1 from Debian unstable but it was not possible to be installed since some package versions are below certain requirements.

Or maybe you know another way to get v1.4.1?

If you have questions about the bauerj stuff (including their build.sh), guess the better place to ask is at their site.

Maybe you could do a source based install either using pip or git, as documented in the borg docs.
Make sure to read the complete install docs, especially the OS level requirements (libs, headers, build tools).

This is exactly what I did if you read my message by opening an issue in their repo as they write in their website.

Unfortunately, that is what I wanted to avoid since I am a newbie with source installations.

I will just wait and hopefully new binaries will be published at some point.

I meant your issues with build.sh/extract.sh.

Yeah, sure, a all-in-one binary is more convenient than a src install.

Did you also check debian backports?

That was a nice idea but just checked and they are still at 1.4.0 :/

There was some recent activity there for ubuntu, so maybe something for debian is coming also.

I have sent an email to ask if it will also be ported in Debian.

Hello, the package needs to first go in testing, then it can be backported. It will take some more time, unfortunately...
