Good evening, I'm the EPEL maintainer of duplicity and I've the following problem: All branches currently have 0.4.3 which has a) at least one unfixed CVE and b) the version has several bugs which are fixed in later versions. If you're looking to Red Hat Bugzilla, there are just a few issues tracked, but there are many more - unfortunately. And the other thing is, that backporting is IMHO very time-consuming, because there is active development and rewrites of the code between the different versions without looking to downstream.
I would like to upgrade duplicity to 0.4.9 to get rid of this issues, but upstream seems to smoke crack or whatever makes high. In duplicity 0.4.4 an incompatible change was introduced: The command line syntax changed and is not backwards compatible: duplicity >= 0.4.4: duplicity [full|incr] [options] source_dir target_url duplicity [restore] [options] source_url target_dir duplicity verify [options] source_url target_dir duplicity collection-status [options] target_url duplicity list-current-files [options] target_url duplicity cleanup [options] target_url duplicity remove-older-than time [options] target_url duplicity <= 0.4.3: duplicity [options] input_directory destination_url duplicity [options] source_url target_directory duplicity [options] --verify source_url filename duplicity [options] --collection-status source_url duplicity [options] --list-current-files source_url duplicity [options] --cleanup target_url duplicity [options] --remove-older-than target_url Are there suggestions how to get rid of this? Just break everything in EPEL and push? Is somebody a good python hacker and can provide a compatibility patch or similar? Oh and somewhen since > 0.4.4, python 2.4 is required means, that EPEL4 can not be updated normally, because python 2.3 is there. Luckily it is just a decorator syntax which I was able to rewrite with less work. Command line problem still remains: Comments or ideas? Greetings, Robert
