[rdiff-backup-users] RPM, #!/usr/bin/python -> #!/usr/bin/python2.2

[Erik Forsberg]

Hi!

I think the hashbang of the rdiff-backup "executable" should be
changed from "#!/usr/bin/python" to "#!/usr/bin/python2.2", at least
in the version that comes with the RPM package.

The reason for this is better compatibility with older RedHat
distributions. On RH7.2 (I have a server running that dist) and 7.3,
/usr/bin/python is python 1.5.2, not 2.2. There is however a python2
package that provides /usr/bin/python2.2:

address@hidden root]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/python2.2
python2-2.2-16

On RH8 and RH9, /usr/bin/python _is_ python 2.2, but there is also a
/usr/bin/python2.2 binary which means a rdiff-backup RPM that used
/usr/bin/python2.2 would work more seamless on more RedHat
distributions.

Just a thought.
