[Aide] Change root for scan.

[Paul Hessels]

I want to scan a bunch of full system backups but what I thought would work
does not work.

I added an entry:
@@define ROOTPREFIX (/u/backup/client/1.1.1.1|/u/backup/client/
1.1.1.1/var/lib/vservers/www)

Which gets appended like:
!/@@{ROOTPREFIX}sys

But AIDE isn't going past the top directory level:

"/u" doesn't match rule from line #695: ^/(/u/backup/client/1.1.1.1
|/u/backup/client/1.1.1.1/var/lib/vservers/2.2.2.2)run/pm

What am I doing wrong?

Also, I have a couple bug reports to make, how should I go about doing that?

I'm not 100% sure, but if I quite remember this is a known bug.

Alternatively you could use the 'root_prefix' option (introduced in aide
0.16a2) to run aide separately on each system backup.

Please check if the bugs are still present in the latest git version of
aide[0]. If yes, please report bugs to sf.net[0] or if you use
Debian alternatively to the Debian BTS[2] (via reportbug).

Best regards

I am running 0.16~a2.git20130520-3 from debian wheezy-backports that you
uploaded for me Hannes.

Would that be the latest?

This version is recent enough for bug reporting.
