As everyone else is quiet I feel the need to reply now ;-) I'd be happy to help getting this into the next release, sure, although I have some suggestions for improvement and also some problems in reading/understanding the original code (read: Stefan != perl-coder). > The 3.2 merge window is closing in ~3-4 weeks, and it would be great > to have this script included in 3.2, even if it has known limitations > at the time. Depends on how big that "window of acceptance" is. So far I only have a patched version working here, working only in the PRE-dle-backup-phase, not in the POST-phase. This means gentoo-environment, yes. What about the original author? Did you get some replies? I assume he might be happy to get his work into the official release, hm? Stefan
