Yes, I for one am ecstatic that someone seems to have finally tracked
down the 4Gb+ bug.  People post about this from time to time on the
rdiff-backup list and it's not clear if it's librsync or not, and the
probably only occurs sometimes.

So, if you fixed it, great work!  :-)

Re: [ 1439412 ] Fix Bug Request ID: 1110812 - no progress error; large files

Hello !

As a user of rdiff-backup i had severe problems with files larger than 4gb.
After seraching for the cause of the bug i found this Bug-ID in librsync and
tried to compile it from cvs version.
seems that the problem is gone now - fine :)

but -I wonder why there wasn`t a change in release number of librsync/rdiff 
!?

is this bugfix not important enough (i think it`s  major bug) - or does
just need some time to pass by to wait for positive/negative feedback ?
any plans for making a new release so we can expect this bug (and probably 
others)
being fixed in all sort of distro's packages ?

regards
roland
