Details:

Running rdiff-backup under Python 2.6 I get a warning about os.popen2 being
deprecated. This happens both using rdiff-backup 1.2.8 and rdiff-backup
1.3.3.

address@hidden:~$ rdiff-backup source/ pc13267v3::dest
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148:
DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd)
address@hidden's password: 
address@hidden:~$ 

Besides the warning, rdiff-backup still behaves exactly as it should. The
backup was completed without any problems.

I have no idea whatever it is feasible or not to have this fixed in 1.2.x.
Yet, if nothing else, I guess it might be something to consider working on
1.3.x? 

Both Ubuntu 9.04 and (if I'm not mistaken) Fedora 11 will be using Python
2.6.
