a workaround it surely is: it makes the pain go away and it makes duplicity usable without eating up your diskspace. it's of course not a complete, proper, fix for the inconsistent design, so i'm not closing the bug. OTOH the expiration logic in duplicity is convolute enough (think spaghetti code cross deep object hierarchies...) that i will certainly not attempt to fix this myself in the debian version - i dislike python and am sure i'd make things worse, not better. that's why the bug is tagged upstream. >Yes it improves the situation WRT cleanup command, but is no workaround to the >fact that remove doesn't remove all of old backups... you're describing a proper fix, which this workaround isn't and doesn't claim to be. >I would then suggest to set the severity to important again to make sure this >is >fixed before entering a stable release. sorry, but i disagree: this is not a show stopper bug. the problem is annoying but not one that renders duplicity useless - there's a simple workaround to reduce the annoyance factor, and that's good enough. >Please read the whole of the thread on upstream ML that discusses the issue, in > any case ;) i did. regards az -- + Alexander Zangerl + DSA 42BD645D + (RSA 5B586291) But these are not inherent flaws in [NT]. They are the result of deliberate and well-thought-out efforts. -- M$ Spokesweenie
