Okay, so I have pushed the beta to Fedora rawhide for anyone who wants to try it there, but I've also created a COPR repository for all supported architectures for F29, F30, F31, EPEL7 & EPEL8. You can access it with "dnf copr enable frankcrawford/rdiff-backup" and then "dnf install rdiff-backup". Note that this the beta version, with all the standard qualifications. Also, while it should be compatible with existing backups, you cannot mix current Fedora python2 release (1.2.8) and this release. Frank
