Re: [Duplicity-talk] When modifying a file under the backup dir, duplicity still thinks that there are no differences with the backup (stored on GDrive)

[Kenneth Loafman]

It turns out it was fixed under 0.7.01 after all.  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1354880

Thanks Aaron for pointing that out.  I need to reflect that in the changelog.

OK, I confused the addition of tests in 0.7.01 with the actual changes.  Those are still in progress.

nope, am pretty sure that verify compares timestamps and existence of the file in the source path. see it regularly in my backup logs.

btw. something that annoys me since the beginning as i would expect a verify to only check consistence but an actual compare command to do the comparing with the source path ;)
