This can significant save fork()ing time when +processing lots of smallish files that have changed. Also, rdiff is +no longer required to be in the PATH. + +Further speed optimizations, mostly reducing CPU consumption when +scanning through unchanged files. + Fixed Path bug which could caused globbing and regexp include/exclude statements to malfunction when the base of the source directory was "/" (root of filesystem). Thanks to Vlastimil Adamovsky for noting this bug. +Added quoting for spaces in directory_statistics file, hopefully +making it easier to parse. + New in v0.9.1 (2002/06/19) -------------------------- diff --git a/rdiff-backup/README b/rdiff-backup/README index f70059c..e33d77b 100644 --- a/rdiff-backup/README +++ b/rdiff-backup/README @@ -2,21 +2,20 @@ INSTALLATION: Thank you for trying rdiff-backup. To install, run: - ./setup.py install + python setup.py install The default prefix is /usr, so files are put in /usr/bin, /usr/share/man/, etc. An alternate prefix can be specified using the --prefix=<prefix> option. For example: - ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local + python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local REQUIREMENTS: -Remember that you must have Python 2.2 or later and librsync installed -(this means that "python" and "rdiff" should be in your path).
