rdiff-backup for MacOS X

Post rdiff-backup for MacOS X 
Hello,

I want to backup a host that runs Mac OS X 10.5.8. My backup server i as
Debian host that runs rdiff-backup 1.2.8

My problem is that the Fink rdiff-backup package contains rdiff-backup 1.0.3,
I know it is too old to be compatible with 1.2.8

I have tried to compile rdiff-backup on MacOSX but it failed.

Does someone use rdiff-bacjup on MacOSX, how do you install it ? which version
?

Thanks for your feedback

Hi, I use this: (which is broken on snowleopard, no time to look at that
yet.)

#!/bin/bash

HOSTOS=`uname`
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"
echo "installing rdiff-backup on = $HOSTNAME"

if [ "$HOSTOS" = "Darwin" ]; then
echo Darwin detected
rm -rf librsync-0.9.7
tar -xzvf librsync-0.9.7.tar.gz
cd librsync-0.9.7
aclocal
autoconf
automake --foreign --add-missing
ranlib popt/libpopt.a
env CFLAGS=-no-cpp-precomp ./configure
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf rdiff-backup-1.2.8
tar -xzvf rdiff-backup-1.2.8.tar.gz
cd rdiff-backup-1.2.8
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
# toss our script into the path
ln -s /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup /usr/bin/rdiff-backup
chmod +x /usr/bin/rdiff-backup
elif [ "$HOSTOS" = "SunOS" ]; then

Thanks for you answer

I have uninstalled Fink
I use now macports, it is much better than fink for me:

- more update to packages: latest rdiff-backup Smile
- package manager much easier to use
- better doc
