Unicode win32 binary

[John-682]

Hi,

I have been using rdiff for a few weeks now, and have run into an issue
with the windows version not being able to backup any file with unicode
characters in them. (pretty much anything other than english). I have
found the previous patches that were posted and a win32 compilation
script. However I am not able to compile rdiff with the patches. Is
there any way to know when a binary with win32 unicode support will be
available? (A super unstable release, maybe? Or an updated compile script?)

Thanks,
Yevgeniy Kuksenko

I tried current cvs version and it is not working either. It should
but there are problems with security and some other things (it crashes
there) so no go. Although I think porting rdiff-backup to python3
should solve the problem considering python3 is unicode.

Now I tried again and got "sort of" success. I compiled current cvs
and tried windows->linux. You mustn't use --restrict on server side
because it is broken but otherwise it looks fine. Oh and sometimes
this error shows up but doesn't seem to break anything:

Error parsing flat file: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ord
inal not in range(128)
