Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: duplicity
Ubuntu 10.10 Server
Duplicity 0.6.11(compiled, not apt-get)
I have an Ubuntu machine importing nfs shares from my various systems,
including those exported from Windows machines (via Cygwin). I backup
all my computers from this system; it makes maintenance easy, and
duplicity is a fantastic solution. Unfortunately there is a segment of
code which modifies the uid and gid (in tarfile.py::getheader) for any
file whose id's are larger than 2097151 (2^21 -1), and for my Windows 7
systems, the Administrators group possesses a gid of -1, which is
interpreted as (4^32 -1). The section of code changes these id's to
60001. This will be a problem during disaster recovery.
I attached a patch that solves the problem by extending the gid and uid
fieldsize.
