This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to 31. Upstream recently became revitalised and has a python3 port. https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup Hopefully they will have a python3 usable version very soon. That's great news! We're planning to remove Python 2 mid-November. If there's a chance of not being ready by then, let us know. The Python3 version of rdiff-backup is nearing release, targeted to be done before the end of 2019, and we have already built test versions of the new release. We will submit an exemption request to FESCo to stop any removal. If the new release works, consider putting it in Rawhide, and help find any remaining bugs in real-world usage. Would that be too dangerous? That is the intention shortly. I'm just waiting for upstream to finalise some of their current changes. Submitted FESCo request https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2262 Can you please update this bug once rdiff-backup moves to Python 3? I'd then remove the python2 subpackage of pyxattr. Sure, although Frank is doing that work at the moment. We will be sure to let you know when it's moved over... For anyone wanting to test it, the current rdiff-backup python3 beta has been pushed to rawhide as rdiff-backup-1.4.0b0-1.fc32. You should note that while it should be compatible with the previous rdiff-backup archives, it is note compatible with the previous (1.2.8) program, so you will need it on all hosts you are running in client/server mode. I guess, we can close this bug with the release of Fedora 32: ``` $ sudo dnf info rdiff-backup --showduplicates Last metadata expiration check: 2:01:29 ago on Sat 09 May 2020 09:00:56. Available Packages Name : rdiff-backup Version : 2.0.0 Release : 1.fc32 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 350 k Source : rdiff-backup-2.0.0-1.fc32.src.rpm Repository : fedora Summary : Convenient and transparent local/remote incremental mirror/backup ``` Well done, Frank!
