I agree that people should rarely if ever see a traceback. But when would a new user see a traceback? Personally, I haven't had a stable version of rdiff-backup crash on me in over a year (except user abort and failend connection). Of course I'm a biased sample - if it doesn't on my machine I wouldn't call it a stable version :) But anyway tracebacks are supposed to be rare, and not caused by user error. So when one happens it may be a bug in rdiff-backup, or at least a failure of some part of the system. If there is a bug in rdiff-backup, I like having a lot of technical information spew out, because it makes my job easier. So what kind of tracebacks are people seeing regularly? If I can reproduce it on my system it should be easy to fix. -- Ben Escoto
