I should also mentioned you can just replace --checksum in
$Conf{RsyncFullArgsExtra} with --ignore-times if you want the "full"
semantics to closely match 3.x.
In this case, 4.x will have more server load than 3.x since it has to read
all the file contents to get the block checksums, while in 3.x

Yes - you have the right solution. These files shouldn't be in the release.
I was using a new MacOSX machine, and I botched the final tarballs for
alpha1 by using the default bsdtar on MacOSX (instead of gnu tar), and it
added the MacOSX AppleDouble files, which contain metadata which is useless

Any ideas how to get this compiled? This is on Debian 7.
$ tar xpf BackupPC-XS-0.10.tar.gz

Looks good

Jean,
I should have been clearer in my explanation. This isn't a user feature in
4.0.0 that allows users to delete any backup.
What I was trying to say was that 4.0.0 includes the ability to delete any
backup, while maintaining the consistency of the reverse deltas. That
simplifies the deletion

Awesome...
It would be great to hear feedback from early adopters... both to
understand any potential iss
