I've released rdup version 0.6.2. This version adds support for all file types on a Unix system; sockets, named pipes and device files.

Another major change is that I've split off rdup and rdup-utils. This release is thus only the rdup program and documentation. I still need to setup another webpage for the rdup-utils.

The changelog for this release is:

03 Nov 2008: 0.6.2 Miek <miek@miek.nl>
 * rdup-utils: completely removed from rdup(-core).
   There is now a seperate svn repos with those tools. 
 * rdup: Added -R switch, which will reverse rdup's output
   This is a depth first output, first the directories
   then the files.
 * rdup: Use libpcre3 for regular expressions, MUCH much more powerful
   than the POSIX regex previously used. This does add an extra
   dependency for libpcre3 (requested by Sorin Ionescu)
 * rdup: support for named pipe's, sockets and character and
   block devices. The rdup-utils IGNORE these files.
   This overloads the size (%s) in case of block/character
   devices - then it is 'major,minor' numbers
 * rdup: always write the device out with 5 position for the 
   internal filelist. This could also have resulted in too large 
   incrementals.

Be aware that I have not tested this release with the older rdup-utils, so this might give you problems.
