Backup Central

Hi all

I'm new to rdiff-backup and also I'm not subscribed to the list (since
it's not members only, too much spam...)

I tried to get the statistics for the backup runs I've done, but
aparently there's a problem with the commandline parsing for this function?

If I check the source, in Main.py the function check_action is called
and it will not accept more than 2 arguments (or elements on the CL?)

even

rdiff-backup --calculate-average <statistics file>

will result in the error:

Error: Wrong number of arguments given.
See the rdiff-backup manual page for instructions

This is using 0.13.4 from the src.rpm

Any idea if this can be fixed easily and will it be fixed in a new
release soon?

tnx

Simon

there is barely any spam.

yes. there are patches on the list. calculate-average is broken.
Dean gaudet has the patches - they are in the archives.

any volunteers? :)

thanks for the info
