Re: [rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup being maintained?

[devzero]

hello yeroc, 

in "theory" it`s still being maintained, but i think i share your point of view.
at least i don`t really give big trust in rdiff-backup because i know, if i get 
a REAL problem, there are not many people around who can help here - too few 
people understanding rdiff-backup internals. i like rdiff-backup very much, but 
it seems, the development stage is over and the main contributors don`t spent 
much time on this anymore.
same with librsync - there is an important bugfix in the CVS which is important 
for rdiff-backup, too - but still no new release since 2003-08-08.
very sad about this.....

regards
roland
