[rdiff-backup-users] Re: feedback on packaged cygwin rd-backup

[Jonathan Albrecht]

I'm using a 0.13.4 cygwin build that I compiled myself and I'm getting 
the same thing. I'm on XP Pro. I think windows is seeing the 
rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0 as still being referenced by python 
and is not really letting it be deleted. What I am seeing is that, 
during the script execution, if I call:

os.system('ls -aR .backup')

(.backup is the name of my backup dir) I get:

Fri Mar 12 10:34:45 2004  In QuotedRPath.listdir. ls -aR .backup =

.backup:
.  ..  rdiff-backup-data

ls: .backup/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0: No such file or directory
.backup/rdiff-backup-data:
.  ..  backup.log  chars_to_quote

and os.listdir('.backup/rdiff-backup-dir') also shows an entry for 
rdiff-backup.tmp.0. But immediately after the script exits 
rdiff-backup.tmp.0 is gone.

Hope this helps,

Jon
