Re: [rdiff-backup-users] windows rdiff-backup --test-server & --restrict

[Davy Stoffel]

If someone have the same problem, is not related to Windows itself, it's
a bug in 1.2.8 version. I didn't see the problem on debian/ubuntu
because debian/ubuntu patch rdiff-backup to fix this bug.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdiff-backup/+bug/349072

I rebuild rdiff-backup for windows with this patch and works now.

The bug is fixed in CVS apparently.

>Fixed in CVS. Will be included in next rdiff-backup releases, 1.2.9
>and 1.3.4.
