-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I read a lot about a native Windows port of rdiff-backup going on. Andrew Ferguson mentioned it (stating that he thinks it's finished) in the announcement of version 1.1.17, for example. Now I have a few questions, regarding this port: * Is it ready / what are the limitations? * Are there binaries? I tried to find the answers through searching the web, but I only found an outdated Wiki article (http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/NativeWindowsPort) and an outdated FAQ entry (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html#windows) linking to an outdated Blog entry (http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2005/11/02/rdiff-backup-on-windows/). As far as I can see on this list, a lot of effort has gone into getting rdiff-backup to run on Windows. So I think it would be appropriate to put at least a little effort into making the result available in the form of a ready-to-use executable, or an installer, so that it can actually be used by anybody (if it's actually usable). I just think rdiff-backup is a great tool, and it could make Windows hell a little bit more bearable. :) Thanks, Patrick. - -- Key ID: 0x86E346D4 http://patrick-nagel.net/key.asc Fingerprint: 7745 E1BE FA8B FBAD 76AB 2BFC C981 E686 86E3 46D4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiNatsACgkQyYHmhobjRtRV+QCfeFglOyurwqrIW4bAejyAvFCl rCYAni1BzvCmZJzqfJossvZJt7atZEzI =pJEN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
