Its goal is to make Obnam faster than than it currently is. +See [[roadmap-ga]] for a rough roadmap finishing it. + +Note that the main Obnam developer already uses GREEN ALBATROSS, but +incompatible on-disk format changes are still possible. If you use +GREEN ALBTROSS and a format change happens, you'll need to start over +with a new backup repository. Once the new repository format is +stable, backwards incompatible changes won't happen anymore. Also, +given very few people use GREEN ALBATROSS so far, it has a higher risk +of bugs than the default repository format. If you're curious, please +try GREEN ALBATROSS, but be aware of the disks. + + Sponsored by Bytemark --------------------- |
