[rdiff-backup-users] Bug in 0.11.3 with cygwin (Is there a devel list?)

[Greg Freemyer]

If there is a devel list, let me know and I will post there.

I'm trying to figure out why 0.11.3 won't run in cygwin.

I'm pretty sure the problem is the ':' that is used in the log files name.

':' is not a legal NTFS character.

== Details of my efforts

I not a python programmer, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway.

At line 220 in log.py I found:

                cls._log_fileobj = cls._log_inc_rp.open("wb", compress = 
compress)

This looks to me like it should be creating a zipped log file.  I added some 
print statements and this is being invoked.

ie.                 print cls._log_inc_rp    imeditately before 220 generated

Path: dummy2/rdiff-backup-data/error_log.2003-03-05T17:47:09-05:00.data
Index: ('error_log.2003-03-05T17:47:09-05:00.data',)
Data: {'type': None}

The log file is not being created, thus the crash latter on when it is needed.

BTW:  I also tried it with the --no-compression flag and I got the same 
results, so it is not a gzip problem
