For OpenSUSE users, they may be interested that stable versions of rdiff-backup are available in their build service:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=rdiff-backup I don't see 1.2.2 yet, but assume it will be there in a few days. FYI: I know the build service will support numerous distros, I don't know how an additional distro is added to their proces for any given package. See the search pull-down for what is theoretically supported.
