restic-deb

restic, shoved into a .deb file (created using the alien package converter).

The .deb file contains the static binary, man pages, and bash-completion function.

installation

A copy of the built .deb file can be downloaded from the Releases page. Install it with e.g. sudo apt install $PWD/restic_0.15.2-2_amd64.deb.

rationale

As at the time of writing (Jan 2022), the version of restic contained in the Ubuntu repositories is missing bugfixes and capabilities found in recent versions of restic (e.g. the ability to use rclone backends, added in restic 0.9.0 in 2018).

So this repo downloads the static binary for restic 0.15.2 from the GitHub releases page for restic, uses it generate man pages and a bash completion file, and shoves it all into a .deb.
