Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Compile rdiff-backup for Windows ?

[Patrik Dufresne]

After alot of hours, I manage to have an end-to-end automated build for
rdiff-backup for Windows that is running in a docker container using wine +
vc2008express + python 2.7.

As a start, I used the code from 1.2.8 and not the sol1/rdiff-backup

This build include the original patch to librsync.
It also include the patch provided by debian packages:
01_fix_restricted_test-server_option.diff
02_python_2.6_deprecationwarning.diff
03_fix_hardlinks.diff
Plus is also contains pywin32, so windows ACL should be backup.

Would appreciate if windows users may give it a trial.
