Re: [Duplicity-talk] Bugtracker on launchpad

[Kenneth Loafman]

Yes, I am behind on getting things done, the bug tracker is the most obvious.  I could use some help on triage and classification, although I do reserve the right to withlist any request that does not fit into normal backup parameters.

Right now, stability and robustness are the most important things needed, followed by a rough roadmap of needed improvements.

Some of the bugs have been around so long that I think they have been fixed and overlooked.  More testing is needed.

unfortunately the status quo is, nobody is really doing either ;(

are you using duplicity? if so, you have a machine on which you can. if not. set up a virtual machine (e.g.  with virtualbox or virtualpc) with linux.

try to familiarize yourself with duplicity, python. don't be afraid, hacking python is no brain surgery. answer questions (on launchpad, mailing list) in case you know the answer. can it get simpler? ;)
