Re: [rdiff-backup-users] python3 support

[Patrik Dufresne]

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

I will probably fork rdiff-backup on github and create a new branch to support python3. Will see how hard it is to support python3 ! I'm about to complete rdiffweb porting and it was very painful. Let hope porting rdiff-backup would be less painful.

Still, I'm far away to take over rdiff-backup.

Hello Patrik

I believe the current maintainer is Ned Harvey who took over in May 2013, but I think his actions were confined to some fixes to the website rather than any work on the program code, and he hasn't been visible here recently. Before him the maintainer was Andrew Ferguson and before him Ben Escoto who wrote the original program.

As you are a python coder and have done some great work on rdiffweb, I am sure Ned as well as all of us who use rdiff-backup would really welcome the contribution you could make to the rdiff-backup code, including making it python3-compatible. If Ned no longer wants to be involved, perhaps you could become the maintainer?

With python2 support ending in 2020, I'm wondering if there are any effort to support both python2 and python3. 

The last version was release in 2009, I'm wondering if somebody as take over the development of rdiff-backup.
