Hi, if you've always dreamed to help your favorite backup project but never dared to do it, we're here to help you help us.
We've added a new label for 'beginners' and flagged some issues with it: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/labels/beginner Those are bugs which might require some technical knowledge but no deep dive knowledge of the entire code. So, take ownership of one, and just work on it. If you see that you need help, ask us, we're more than happy to help. If you recognize that you can't progress anymore, be honest and tell us, we'll understand (we also have sometimes a private life). The issue #51 is special in this regard that multiple persons can work on it, and you don't need any Python knowledge: we would need volunteers to go through the Savannah bugs, try to reproduce them on version 2.x of rdiff-backup and create a "mirror" issue in GitHub if they are still valid. Add to it the simplest possible procedure (like a shell script) on how to reproduce the bug (or clarify the enhancement request). Make sure that you link both old and new bugs together in comments (or state that you can't reproduce it or it's a duplicate), and take ownership of a Savannah bug _before you start_ by adding a comment. (the instructions are also documented in #51c591286234) Happy coding, Eric #51: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/51 #51c591286234: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/51#issuecomment-591286234
