EPEL packages for a new rsnapshot version (1.4.2) have been built and
are available in testing.
There are many bug fixed in this release. From upstream the config file
should be comptabile with the existing 1.3.1 currently in EPEL.
However given new upstream maintainer/hosting, it was about seven years
between upstream releases, and rsnapshot is used for things like
backups, we are taking extra caution with this release.
So we are emailing this list to get extra notice and we are planning on
at least 4 weeks in testing and hoping to get some good testing and
karma reflected (in bodhi) before moving to push to stable.

Also, thanks to new co-maintener for the rsnapshot package James Hogarth
for getting the actually mods, builds put together.
