Adam,
Let me look at the email archives to understand this issue better.
I'm happy for other capable developers to contribute to BackupPC, including
adding commit and release privileges. But they have to be very good.
As of ~2.5 years ago I was at least 80% of the way along developing 4.0,
but unfortunately work got extremely busy (I must say that public company
acquisitions are quite time consuming - see for example
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_03/b4211036884342.htm). I
left my job a few weeks ago to take some time off, but I will probably end
up doing something new in the next few months, which probably means there
won't be enough time to finish 4.0.
