Hello,
I just installed rdiff-backup on my iBook. librsync installed with no
problem, and rdiff-backup's setup.py script ran without complaining;
see below. However, it doesn't seem like it completely finished. I
could run rdiff-backup by typing:
python /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/rdiff-backup
And it worked just fine. I copied that rdiff-backup into /usr/bin/,
and changed its first line from "#!/usr/bin/python" to "#!/usr/bin/env
python"; now I can run rdiff-backup without calling the python
interpreter or using the full path. Now we get to my questions: Is
doing this going to cause a problem? I don't completely understand
what I did. Also, how do I get the man page for rdiff-backup
installed, and why does the wiki say that 0.13.4 is broken on OSX?
Other than installation issues, it seems to be running all right: I've
backed up to and restored from a remote server with no problems.
