Re: [rdiff-backup-users] 4GB limit fixed in FC5 -- no longer affects rdiff-backup

[devzero]

if librsync is unmaintained now, why isn`t anybody taking over maintenance then?

perhaps somebody should just take the sources, make a new release and put the 
new release to his website and call this "librsync-new" and start a 
fork....maybe this will make something happen making the librsync maintainers 
wake up ;)
