A question regarding the PKGBUILD. Why is this running the tests? I never seen any other package doing this. With yay --editmenu I was able to edit it before install and remove the tests. It works just fine.

@demir you skipped the beginning of the log, asciidoctor can't find it's exectuable, doesn't surprise me with rvm being installed on my system. rvm use system did allow it to install via yay. I'll report a bug with rdiff-backup for the setup.py not handling the error correctly.

Maybe the PKGBUILD could check for rvm and if it exists tell the user to use the system's ruby version?

executing ('asciidoctor -b manpage -a revdate="{date}" -a revnumber="{ver}" -o {outfile} {infile}', ('docs', 'rdiff-backup.1.adoc'), ('dist', 'rdiff-backup.1'))

The build fails for me:

I do see a src/rdiff-backup-2.2.6/dist/rdiff-backup-old.1.

Would you please consider removing the .gitignore file? If git can see untracked files, they are easy to clean up with a git clean -fd.

@exuvo Thanks, that was the solution indeed.

You should just need to rebuild the package and it should be fixed.

After a system upgrade of all the packages last week I get this error when starting rdiff-backup: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 5, in <module>
    from rdiffbackup.run import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rdiffbackup'

I see that rdiff-backup has files in /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ while the current python version is 3.12.3-1.

I tried just copying /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rdiff* to /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ but then I get different errors.

As far as I can tell, upstream deleted that tag as it never was not a proper release, according to them. See https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/commit/105122b142a45e57f35fb9e5e8cc08c435021528.

I've pushed a change so the version is now 2.2.6, which is their last release: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/v2.2.6.

This will require a manual downgrade for those who have 2.4.0 installed. Either that or I can bump the epoch.

I ran into bug #892 filed upstream (ActionListTest.test_action_listincrements fails in sufficiently-negative-from-UTC timezones https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/892) and have created a patch based on the fix listed in task 893 (https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/pull/893). Please add the following patch to this package, which can be removed once commit d8c2f68 is included in a release tag upstream: https://termbin.com/r0jl
