Hello! There has not been any new releases of rdiff-backup since 2009. If the original maintainer does not intend to work on this project, could I please be allowed to take over?
I am a Debian Developer and active in multiple open source projects. Our company supports many open source projects (seravo.com/opensource) and since we also use rdiff-backup, I could get some funding and man power to for example complete the Python3 migration. I know Python well and have recently contributed Python code to AppArmor upstream, so I think I am technically competent. With 20 years of open source experience I believe I can be a good steward this project. Rdiff-backup is marked for autoremoval from Debian on August 8th. I hope we could get some responses and activity on this soon so I have a chance to save rdiff-backup in Debian. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rdiff-backup That do you think? If you are in favor of this please let me know by starring https://github.com/Seravo/rdiff-backup If I get more than 5 stars I will begin the Python 3 migration and also pulling in the best commits from the existing forks that have had most activity: - https://github.com/ericzolf/rdiff-backup - https://github.com/ardovm/rdiff-backup - https://github.com/hosting90/rdiff-backup - https://github.com/orangenschalen/rdiff-backup (see https://github.com/sol1/rdiff-backup/network) - Otto _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
