[Duplicity-talk] Release Candidate of 0.4.3 Ready

[Kenneth Loafman]

Folks,

I've just made a release of Duplicity 0.4.3.  It's release candidate 1 
since there are a couple of things that still need to be tested.  I've 
managed to test all the backends except HSI and S3+HTTP.  If someone 
would please check these out, we can proceed to a full release.

The website has *not* been changed.  The downloads are in:
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/duplicity/

Please send all feedback to the newsgroup, or to:
bugs: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=duplicity
patches: https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=duplicity

After this last round of patches, where some were supplied without 
context, please standardize on 'diff -Naur old new' format.

Below my sig is the changelog.

...Thanks,
...Ken

ProFTPD resets the connection after returning 226 when NLSTing an
empty directory, so changed code to allow that exception.

ftpBackend now asks for a password if FTP_PASSWORD does not exist.

rsyncBackend was using full URL in the commandline and failing.
It now uses only server:path/, leaving off rsync://.

Added --sftp-command option, now that the scp backend uses sftp for
listing and deleting files.

Brian Sutherland has contributed a new backend for Amazon's S3 data
storage service.

Added some patches compiled by Andre Beckedorf:

    Tolerate more errors when listing an ftp directory (errors
    indicate an empty dir).

    Retry ftp commands when upon temporary error.  (Patch written by
    Stefan Schimanski.)
