+# restic-deb
+
+[restic][restic-repo], shoved into a .deb file (created
+using the [alien][alien] package converter).
+
+The .deb file contains the static binary, man pages,
+and bash-completion function.
+
+## 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][rclone]
+backends, added in restic 0.9.0 in 2018).
+
+So this repo downloads the static binary for restic 0.12.1 from the
+GitHub releases page for restic, uses it generate man pages and a bash
+completion file, and shoves it all into a .deb.
