Package: rdiff-backup Version: 0.13.4-5 Followup-For: Bug #302099 Rdiff-backup 0.13.6 is out which fixes a serious symlink bug. Here's a portion of the email message describing the new release:
Blair http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2005-04/msg00018.html I released new versions of both branches because of the serious symlink bug recently fixed. Here are the relevant bits of both changelogs: New in v0.13.6 (2005/04/07) --------------------------- Fixed timezone bug. Hopefully this is the last one. (Thanks to Randall Nortman for bug report.) Added fix for listing/restoring certain bad archives made when there was a timezone bug. (Thanks to Stephen Isard) ************** Serious bug fix ****************** If a directory in the source directory was replaced by certain symlinks, then if later backups failed they could cause files in the directory that the symlink pointed to to be deleted! Much thanks to Alistair Popple for pointing this bug out and providing a test case. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages rdiff-backup depends on: ii python2.3 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii rdiff 0.9.7-1 Binary diff tool for signature-bas -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
