Hi Ken, 

Should we be moving to committing to the 0.8 branch by default, with
only bug fixes to 0.7? Last time I tried, 0.7 was the default/mainline
for bzr branch lp:duplicity etc.  

https://code.launchpad.net/duplicity

lists 0.8 as Experimental, with 0.7 (and 0.6) as Development. We should
probably also update README-REPO if 0.6 is now EOL, as that refers to
0.6 as the stable branch. 

As always, thanks for your work shepherding the project. 

Kind regards, 

Aaron

We do not have time to maintain dozens of different versions dependent on the vagaries of each of the distros, while at the same time adding new features.  Heck, we don't even have the time to maintain the half-dozen or so versions that Ubuntu would need.  So, progress will be made, but if you want or need to stick with the distribution repository for whatever reason, we'll try to help, but the most common response will be to upgrade to one of the above.
