Hello Dave, About the maintainership. I don't plan to maintain rdiff-backup. I've already take over rdiffweb. Still, I do have some interest to get bug fixed since I'm offering professional services related to backup and rdiff-backup is in the center of the service provided.
In long term, unless someone take over rdiff-backup, I will need to port it to python3 if I have to continue providing my service. -- Patrik Dufresne Service Logiciel inc. http://www.patrikdufresne.com <http://patrikdufresne.com/>/ 514-971-6442 1-114 rue des Hautbois, St-Colomban, QC J5K 2H6 Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:57:12 +1100 (EST) > From: Dave Kempe <d...@solutionsfirst.com.au> > To: David <dkad...@gmail.com> > Cc: Rdiff Backup <rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org> > Subject: Re: [rdiff-backup-users] fuzzy match - moved/renamed > Message-ID: > <424290301.4271462.1455065832016.javamail.zim...@sol1.com.au> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > > From: "David" <dkad...@gmail.com> > > > Are there plans to implement fuzzy match or similar algorithms to match > > files moved/renamed files? > > Tracking moves has been discussed at length in the past, and we haven't > been able to see a way past the very expensive calculation of checksums to > match files. > I think that disk is cheaper than time or cpu usage, so it hasn't been > possible to do this easily. > If you dig through the archives tracking moves has been discussed. > > As for other products and rdiff-backup maintainership, its working for me > just fine.
