Barman: requires python 3.7 , requires recent rsync, new release of barman

[ARCICT (ARCSUP)]

Barman needs python 3.7 to be able to restore a backup ( pickle issue ) All python versions after 3.7 break this functionality

Barman needs a more recent rsync than the standard MacOS version. "s" option needs to be supported ( issue when restoring a backup )

There is a recent release of barman 3.8

Replying to ARCICT:

Barman needs python 3.7 to be able to restore a backup ( pickle issue ) All python versions after 3.7 break this functionality

What's the error message or upstream bug report? I doubt it needs Python 3.7 since that version is EOL.

Barman needs a more recent rsync than the standard MacOS version. "s" option needs to be supported ( issue when restoring a backup )

Try installing rsync from MacPorts and see if that works.

There is a recent release of barman 3.8

I'll update this.

At this moment it is the only way we found to be able to restore a backup with Barman. A ​supportcase & a ​Git-issue have been raised.
Since we are a bunch of python nono's we can't suggest/implement a (temp?) fix or workaround :-(

That's what we did and it solved the issue.

I'll update this.

Thanks !
