11.0 Plans
Hello, all! So 10.0 seems to have gone out with few complaints, so that's good.
Here's what I'm thinking for 11.0:
* Slow down. I'd like to take things even slower this time. 10.0
seems solid, is in use by a couple distros (foresight, ubuntu karmic).
There's no rush for 11. Part of this is taking some time to work on
the 'intangibles' -- better automated tests, better help
documentation, better marketing material (release notes, etc).
* Finally enable code to support occasionally doing a new full
backup, rather than forever doing incremental ones. This will make us
more robust.
* As part of that, we can finally enable deleting old backups.
* Give more feedback about when an operation is going to take a while
(like the periodic full backups above). This may mean more feedback
about the preparing/scanning stage.
* Look into supporting the resume/checkpoint functionality in
duplicity 0.6.00. Presumably it works as-is, but there are a couple
niceties we could do (like not warn user from logging out if their
duplicity has checkpoint functionality). Currently, 0.6.00 has a few
bugs, and they may be tweaking the feature a bit in the next release.
I'll probably use the 'testing' PPA again, if peeps want to help test.
