rsync - Apr 2002 - [rproxy-devel] rdiff deltas not very good compared to pysync, why?

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months,
because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync itself.

Needless to say I'm delighted that people find it useful.

I'd like it if Shirish and/or Donovan (or somebody else) could join 
in managing the package.  I think it might be good to set up a 
small web site for librsync, as it seems at the moment there's more
interest in librsync as distinct from rproxy.  Even more important
is to test and (if appropriate) merge the patches that have been 
sent in, and then make a new release.  We can either keep it on 
samba.org or move to sourceforge or somewhere else; in either case 
I'll give you the appropriate access.

Is anyone interested?

Hi Martin,

   I can definitely help in managing the librsync package, especially 
since I will be maintaining our local tree anyway. As of now, I don't 
have the resources to get the Windows stuff tested; however, I can 
handle the Unix side of things. Maybe Donovan would be interested in 
managing the Windows effort?

   I am fine with either Sourceforge or samba.org. I have used the 
former quite extensively during Intermezzo development, but most of my 
usage was CVS access, so I don't think either site would make much of a 
difference.
