Re: cross-platform backup tool First beta v2.1.2b1 release towards v2.2.0

[EricZolf]

Hi,

short update for everybody:

1. I've created an issue for this: 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/731 - you can follow 
it if you're interested in the gory details
2. There is already a workaround at 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/pull/732 - waiting to be 
reviewed
3. Once it's merged I'll release a new beta version (soonish)

Again, sorry for the inconvenience, we'll address this as part of 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/306 to avoid such 
blatantly wrong binaries to be released in the future (at least under 
Windows, we never had the issue under Linux).

KR, Eric
