Hi, I've just finished the migration of rdiff-backup to Python 3 after months of work, improving at the same time the test framework. Anybody can check and feedback at https://github.com/sol1/rdiff-backup/pull/40 without paying money
The quality seems equal to the version 1.2.8 packaged under Fedora, Windows and Mac support wasn't a priority though. Feel free to save the Debian package, there is enough work for more people, but we should avoid useless work and forks.
