Folks, I have made available a Python2 version of rdiff-backup 1.2.8 which can be installed along with the current Python3 version of rdiff-backup for currently supported Fedora and EPEL systems. The package is named "python2-rdiff-backup" and installs the python script "rdiff-backup-1". It does not install additional executables, or documentation, as these are supplied by the current version. To run it just run "rdiff-backup-1" with the same arguments as the current version of "rdiff-backup". This should only be needed on a master backup server as all slaves should only need a single version. It can be installed with: dnf copr enable frankcrawford/python2-rdiff-backup or download the yum repo file from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/frankcrawford/python2-rdiff-backup/ For EPEL-8 you will also have to download https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/frankcrawford/python2-pyxattr/ as it is not currently available in EPEL-8. Note that I will not be offering any support for application issues with this version, although I will look at packaging issue, if they are found. Regards Frank
