Re: Mailing list messing up my posts.

Privacy is a fundamental right and has become a hot topic with the rise

Regulating privacy is a challenge, with new websites popping up every

As a website owner that collects personal information, you need to do
your part by having a detailed and easily accessible privacy policy.

Re: Man Page did not update when upgrading
I use my lfs build: [1]http://waynesallee.com/linux.html
I installed rdiff-backup from source. Then later upgraded from source.
On your computer terminal, if you type man rdiff-backup, and scroll
down to the bottom, you will see the version number. But if you go to
the webpage [2]https://rdiff-backup.net/rdiff-backup.1.html , and
scroll down to the bottom, there is no version number.

I downloaded rdiff-backup-2.2.5 and installed, but the man page did
not get updated.
My man page is still Version 1.2.8
Any advice?
Did you perhaps mix package (RPM, DEB,...) and pip installation, or root and non
-root installation?
KR, Eric

Hi,
What api is it talking about?
I tried adding "--api-version 201" to the command, but that just errored out.
Did you add it _before_ or _after_ the command (e.g. regress)? It belongs before
. Which error was it? Option unknown and a usage message?

Is there a way to get it back?
