They seem to have been written by people who know Autotools (I don't) and add support for kFreeBSD, that could be a Good Thing. So feel free to reject my PR and do better ;-) Please understand I am just hacking away this, just because the "C-only problem" label tempted me.

An unrequested comment: there source code files I have seen do not seem to carry any information about the license. It may be worth another PR? I am not a lawyer, but I know for sure that the Apache License requires a note to be inserted into each and every file. Indicating the license would probably be necessary, before integrating the Debian patches. Best regards, -- Arrigo http://rigo.altervista.org

Hi, I can't help but I created the next issue, for someone to take, and document/fix the build process: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-fs/issues/4 The MR from Arrigo is also merged, not knowing if it really helps, as nobody built the code :-/ KR, Eric On 23/03/2021 00:24, griffin tucker wrote: i forgot, i also ran: cp README.md README automake --add-missing before i ran autoreconf --install On Tue, 23 Mar 2021 at 09:55, griffin tucker wrote: i've spent the last few hours trying to install from source, but i only got as far as: /urs/bin/ld: rdiff-backup-fs.o: in function `run': rdiff-backup-fs.c:(.text+0xad): undefined reference to `fuse_main_real' " (above was after running make) i think it references an old version of the fuse library usually i install from "apt install rdiff-backup-fs " for those interested, i ran: autoreconf --install ./configure make and didn't get as far as: sudo make install i don't know what i'm doing wrong to install from source in this case On Tue, 23 Mar 2021 at 08:22, Arrigo Marchiori wrote: Hello Eric, Griffin, replying below.

yep, thanks eric. also worth noting there's a $30 bounty on bountysource for whomever solves this particular bug https://www.bountysource.com/issues/96838952-files-with-a-byte-size-larger-than-an-int-cause-i-o-errors On Mon, 22 Mar 2021 at 03:11, EricZolf wrote: > > Hi Arrigo, > > It's about https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-fs/issues/2 > > But to be clear, it's possibly the whole FS code which needs a cleanup, I > only "saved" it under the umbrella of rdiff-backup, no clue in which state it > exactly is. > > You're more than welcome to have a look! > > KR, Eric > > On March 21, 2021 2:39:46 PM UTC, Arrigo Marchiori wrote: > >Hello All, > > > >my reply (actually a question) is at the bottom. > > > >On Tue, Mar 02, 2021 at 12:56:31PM +, ewl+rdiffbac...@lavar.de > >wrote: > > > >> Hi Griffin, > >> > >> nobody is currently working on the topic and C doesn't belong to my > >knowledge, so it's waiting for a volunteer to step forward. > >> > >> Sorry, Eric > >> > >> On March 2, 2021 2:01:33 AM UTC, griffin tucker > > wrote: > >> >files with a byte size larger than an int show up with input/output > >> >errors > >> > > >> >i see that someone tried changing the integer to a long long, > >however > >> >apparently this didn't work > >> > > >> >i have limited programming experience, and since this deals with the > >> >operating system, i think this is above my head > >> > > >> >has any progress been made on this bug? > > > >What bug are you talking about? > > > >Best regards, >
Re: rdiff-backup-fs filesize for large files
Hi Arrigo, It's about https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-fs/issues/2 But to be clear, it's possibly the whole FS code which needs a cleanup, I only "saved" it under the umbrella of rdiff-backup, no clue in which state it exactly is.

Re: rdiff-backup-fs filesize for large files
Hi Griffin, nobody is currently working on the topic and C doesn't belong to my knowledge, so it's waiting for a volunteer to step forward.

rdiff-backup-fs filesize for large files
files with a byte size larger than an int show up with input/output errors i see that someone tried changing the integer to a long long, however apparently this didn't work i have limited programming experience, and since this deals with the operating system, i think this is above my head has any progress been made on this bug?
