barman (3.19.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium On systemd systems the periodic "barman cron" run is now driven by barman.timer (the /etc/cron.d/barman entry no longer runs there), and it supervises each streaming server's WAL receiver through a dedicated barman-receive-wal@.service unit instead of forking and detaching it. Inspect or stop a receiver with systemctl and read its log with journalctl; a shipped polkit rule lets the unprivileged barman user manage these units. Interactive commands such as "barman receive-wal --stop" continue to work unchanged. Where polkit is absent (a Recommends, e.g. a --no-install-recommends install), barman falls back to forking the receivers as before, so they will not appear as systemd units; WAL streaming still works. -- Marco Nenciarini Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:25:06 +0200
