[Grml] FW: [rdiff-backup-users] Debian debs with patch fix for #355178

[devzero at web.de]

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&group_id=56125&atid=479441

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
