Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Re: Restarting development
Oliver Mattos spake thusly on 04/10/2010 04:32 PM: One of the major nice things about rdiff-backup at the moment is the ability to restore the latest version of the repository with a simple file copy. It also has a nice benefit that users can be given read-only access the the backup if necessary, without requiring special tools to extract files from it. As a user, this is why I picked rdiff-backup over all the proprietary backup solutions that make a massive binary blob containing your backup. Agreed! I also like a simple mirror, with incremental diffs available from there. And contrary to my earlier statement about not voting, I'd like to cast my vote with continuing to develop rdiff-backup from the current codebase.

Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Re: Restarting development
I'm not sure it's a voting thing, but if it is, I support a new codebase since I suspect with the insight of the existing codebase a re-write wouldn't actually take anywhere near as long as the initial development, and would give the project a new beginning and the opportunity to add features that would be almost impossible with the old architecture. Many parts of the original code could possibly be re-used with minimal changes. Having said that, I know in open source projects votes are proportional to the amount of development time you can put into it, and on that front I'm afraid other than mailing list rants and using the program, I haven't got the time to contribute significantly. ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
