(Thanks Martin for the bug follow-up and comments) William, currently due to the reason Martin described in the previous note, even if this rather minor bug is uploaded, it still doesn't make too much sense since restoring archives needs a *lot* of work (just to give an idea; finishing stabilizing the dar python bindings and making sense of how to use them, adjusting hurestore to use them, finish it's critical features etc..and I haven't even mentioned the work we'll need to do on hubackup for that matter) - The problem is that both Martin and I are volunteers and as of such can only dedicate as much time as the other things we do allow us - As I am the principle author and lead of the project, me being away for most of the time for the last couple of months due to having to work a very demanding day job - surely puts us behind. I have proposed Canonical to fund this work but as they already funded SBackup I understood their reluctance to do so. to make HUBackup advance quicker:
1) Get some funding to sustain myself (pay rent, bills, etc) while I work on hubackup/hurestore - being funded will allow me to direct my time and effort towards the project. or 2) Get some more developers to continue in parallel the work I and Martin do, while I direct and manage the work. Having more developers we'll get us up to speed with the planned features and finish this project in a timely manner. So - if you think there's enough interest and demand for the product - you can try and either help us get (1) or (2) or even them both would be nice, until one of them happens - the project will advance slowly.... -- backup to non-existing directory fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/67473 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
