Subject: O: rdiff-backup -- Backup program to use deltas for history

Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 14:56:34 -0500

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the rdiff-backup package.

The package description is:
 rdiff-backup is a script that backs up one directory to another. The target
 directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs
 are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can
 still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best
 features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves
 subdirectories, symlinks, special files, permissions, uid/gid ownership (if
 it is running as root), and modification times. Finally, rdiff-backup can
 operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you
 can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote
 location, and only the differences will be transmitted.

You might want to coordinate with the people on debian-devel; there was
another person there that has offered to adopt it as well.

Lack of time to maintain it, esp. wrt bug reports.

Hi Joe,

I'm the one who previously offered to adopt rdiff-backup.  It seems I
forgot to ITA this package, so I'll understand if you take over.
Either way, I'll probably end up submitting some patches.  I'm also
using rdiff-backup and don't want to see it fall out of the Debian
archive.

Thanks,

Alec

You're welcome to it, I just wanted to make sure it didn't go
maintainer-less.  If you need, I'd be happy to look over your patches
and sponsor you.

Let me know if you have changed your mind, otherwise I'll assume that
you're taking this.

Is anyone of you still interested in adopting rdiff-backup? If not, I 
will take care now.
