Hello !

for the moment i have no suitable debian system for testing around, but this one (see below) is an important bugfixed version of librsync and also rdiff-backup, countaining a patch which fixes a >4gb file problem.

maybe some candidate for 0.9 !? (needs testing, though)

for details, also see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1439412&gr...

librsync folks still didn`t do a new librsync release because the maintainers seem to have more important to do with their other projects ;)

regards roland

Hi everyone,

I just ran into Debian bug #355178, reported by Dean Gaudet. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355178, which has links to a corresponding bug report on sourceforge. I imagine some/all people here are already aware of this bug, though.

This was with a 4.2 Gig Zope Data.fs database file. I ignored it for a bit hoping it would go away. It didn't, but I was relieved to learn that this was a known bug with a patch.

I spent quite a lot of time yesterday, patching librsync and rebuilding rdiff-backup against it.

You can get the librsync and rdiff-backup debs (for sarge) from

deb http://dulci.org/~faheem/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb-src http://dulci.org/~faheem/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free

As expected, it made the problem go away.

NB. If anyone is considering setting up an apt repository, consider using reprepro (http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286). It makes the process quite easy.

Does anyone know any friendly Debian developers would could be persuaded to do NMUs of librsync and rdiff-backup? It would be a good thing if this fix could go in for etch.

I also have a question for Dean Gaudet. Since you are the only one apparently committing now to rdiff-backup (at least in the last few months), do you know if there are any plans to put out a new release in the near future with fixes?

                                                           Faheem.
