The debian package tracker refers to http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/ as the upstream home page, which lists 1.2.8 as current stable release and 1.3.3, from 2009, as development/unstable version. There is no bug report advising about a new project homepage or about a new stable release in the Debian bug tracker system. Generally, if a project changes its home page, it's a good idea to at least have the old address point to the new one so that people pick up the new developent. In case of rdiff-backup, either of this didn't happen. Greetings Marc, who stopped rdiff-backup after a new upstream version broke backwards compatiblity to history and the proposed solution was to throw away history and to start over in earnest -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
