Paul, did you submit your custom backend via the mailing list or through a patch in Launchpad?  I am very bad about forgetting stuff coming in through the mailing list.  If I missed your submission, I apologize.  I don't recall ever seeing it.

Good to see a Ubuntu One backend which works without being logged into a GUI session, can put away the custom backend I was using now.

For future reference, it would be good to know if there were any specific reasons the version that's now used made it into the release rather than the one I posted to this mailing list a few months back. Perhaps I could learn something so that next time I submit code it has more chance of being accepted.

Thanks,

Paul Barker

Hi,

A lot of bug fixes and enhancements by the duplicity team.  My thanks
go out to them for keeping the project going.

 Im hoping some of the upstream maintainers read this announcement as
well.  Theres a very pointed note at the top of the CHANGELOG file

you need to read, but the bottom line is, QUIT CHANGING THE RELEASE!
 We dont do anything without good reason and were all tired of

chasing bugs reported to us because you refuse to package duplicity
the way we intended.  From now on, those bugs will be reassigned to
the package maintainers that modified the code.  Please cease the
changes.

 As usual, you can download

* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/utf8-po
  - For some crazy reason, the gettext module defaults to giving you
strings in
    whatever charset the po file happened to define.  Which means
you never know
    what string of bytes youre going to get.  This module makes
sure we always
    get utf-8 byte strings.  So were at least predictable and

reduces one
    source of UnicodeDecodeErrors (like in bug 989496)
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/1031277
  - ssh: actually delete all the requested files, not just the first
one
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/leftover-sigtar
  - So currently, duplicity does not delete signature files when
doing a
    remove-all-but-n operation. Seems wrong, since those signature
files are now
    useless and take up space.
  - This branch does several things:
    1) Make remove-all-but-n operate on chains. In practice it did
before, since
       the sets it operated on always came from complete chains
(i.e. it never
       used only some of the sets from a chain)
    2) Add a new method to get all signature chains before a certain
time.
    3) Use this new method to also delete signature chains during
remove-all-but
       operations.
  - And it cleans up the cleanuptest.py file:
    1) Removes crufty, unused code
    2) Disallows changing the destination folder for the test, which
no one
        would ever want to do and isnt really supported anyway

    3) Add some additional checks to the existing test
    4) Adds two new methods to test remove-all-but-n and
       remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/duplicity.manpage [9]

  - disabled hyphenation and block justification for better
readablility of
    command line examples.
  - reformatted REQUIREMENTS section for hopefully better online
rendering
  - minor clarifications
* Merged in lp:~gregretkowski/duplicity/cf-retry-delete
  - This will retry cloudfile delete commands. With large numbers of
archive
    files over mediocre links transient network errors will
occasionally cause
    deletes to fail and these should be retried.
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/ropath.index
  - This branch does two main things:
    1) Skips base dir entries when compiling the list of deleted
delta iters.
       (this gracefully recovers from the sort of situations that
lead to bug
       929067). Im reasonably confident this is an uninvasive

change, but
       please confirm.
    2) Overwrites the sigtar file on backup-restart. This is because
AFAICT,
       duplicity will rewrite the entire sigtar each restart. But
we were
       opening the sigtar file as "ab", so wed just dump the

contents on top
       of the previous contents. Which was causing some confusion
in bug 929067.
       If Im wrong that we dont always rewrite the entire sigtar

each time,
       this needs some rethink. Please also confirm that.
  - In addition, I added two tests for the above two changes and make
some
    improvements elsewhere in the restarttest.py file while I was at
it.
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/ssh-pexpect-msgbug [10]

  - Fixes UnboundLocalError: local variable msg referenced before
assignment
    in _ssh_pexpect.py
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/gpg.tmp [11]
  - place gpg.py tempfiles in duplicitys tmp subfolder which is

cleaned
    whatever happens
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/u1-402
  - Switch the code we check for out-of-space in u1backend.
* Applied patch for #1066625 ubuntu one backend
  - add delay between retries
