Comment 2 Frank Crawford 2023-12-10 10:12:56 UTC
@ybuenos just want to check what is needed here?  Is it just submit a rebuild for F39?  What about F38?

Comment 3 ybuenos 2023-12-10 10:43:02 UTC
This is for both F38 and F39.

Comment 4 Eric L. 2023-12-10 11:08:18 UTC
Hi, as rdiff-backup developer, I'm not sure to understand why this issue should be relevant to Fedora: we only use PyInstaller for the Windows build. 

I created https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/957 to check this properly but it also only concerns Windows, not Linux.

It would be interesting to know how you came to the conclusion that rdiff-backup might be impacted, there is perhaps something to improve. As a side note, entry in requirements.txt is `pyinstaller; platform_system=="Windows"`!

Comment 5 ybuenos 2023-12-10 11:54:45 UTC
This was filed according to our manifests. I will notify our manifests maintainers about this misinformation. Thanks.
