Gday,
as of today, Sol1 has taken over official maintainership of
rdiff-backup. We have done so with the blessing of the original
author, Ben Escoto, and from the most recent maintainer(s).
We will be migrating the code to github:
https://github.com/sol1/rdiff-backup
I have been triaging the bugs
at: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/rdiff-backup/ and will
migrate the postponed bugs to githubs bug tracker over the next few days.
We intend to migrate to the wiki and bugtracker on github in the near
future.
The aim is to modernise development of rdiff-backup, and port it to
python3 and librsync2. Wes will probably be doing most of the work,
however we happily welcome contributions from the community.
Sol1 has been using and assisting with development of rdiff-backup for
over 12 years, and its time we stepped up and committed commercial
resources to it. This is in part self-preservation, we would like to
protect our investment, and in part giving back to the community. We
feel this strikes the right balance, and of course we will continue to
honour the open source license and nature of rdiff-backup. We have no
plans to change the license or do any else than maintain and modernise
it.
We will need community support in testing the new releases we are
planning, as there will be significant changes with python3 and
librsync2 that will need testing.
More to come as we work out the next steps.
thanks
David Kempe
