No support for new Barman state "WAITING_FOR_WALS"

[ghost]

Barman 2.5 added a new state "WAITING_FOR_WALS" which should not block a base sync. However, because this new state is not supported, base backups are skipped. My basesync.log is now full of these entries:

Could you please show also cat /var/run/barmans3/queue.d/20190814T040001.run output?

@mainframe Done. Thanks.

Would a simple modification to barmans3-base-sync:52 be enough to allow the base backup without any problems or there is more to it?

[mainframe]

@flavioarieta should be enough.
