Hi,
I'm especially looking at Frank, but perhaps some SuSE packager is
here, or anybody else with specific needs.
As a long time Fedora and RH/Centos user I would hate to see
rdiff-backup disappear from the repositories.
I have seen packages drop the RPM spec file and then disappear from the
repos which kind of dead ends the product from a RH and variants point
of view.
As I modernize the build system for rdiff-backup, using pyproject.toml
and getting rid of direct calls to setup.py [1], I'd need to touch as
well the RPM spec template files _OR_ completely remove them [2].
And when I write that "I'd need to touch", I actually mean that I
would need someone to do it for me, because I have barely a clue.
But first step is to clarify if anybody is (still) using the spec
files from the repo. If nobody complains, I'll remove them.
Thanks, Eric
