Using the version of duplicity that is currently packaged in F10 (0.5.06), backups of a 60G directory to an underpowered Linux ssh server (an NSLU2) regularly timed out damaging the backup. When I updated to 0.5.09 (which when I started using it was the latest upstream release) the problem went away. I think the problem was fixed by: patch #6730: Fix timing out for SSH backend https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6730 In v0.5.07. I used the following modified spec file (I updated more than just the version but even after my modifications there were still rpmlint warnings): http://www.coralbark.net/fedora/duplicity/duplicity.spec Upstream has recently released 0.5.11, could the version packaged in Fedora be updated please?
Thank you for your report. From a diff between duplicity's spec file of version 0.5.06 in CVS and yours I were not able to see a real fix/modification except some tiny rumblings, sorry. Looks like your spec file based on 0.4.12-2, but all Fedora and EPEL branches are already (or at least should be, if you're updating your system regulary) at 0.5.06-2. Nevertheless I've updated the package to 0.5.12, released a few days ago. Please vote for it accordingly in bodhi, thank you.
