Re: [Duplicity-talk] duplicity -V prints duplicity $version

on the other hand,

version copying is done during distro creation. so maybe Ken just skipped the 
step when releasing the source builds?

anyway. for now you may create the tar yourself as documented here

in case you want to keep several duplicitys on one box here's a mini howto 
'INSTALL MULTIPLE VERSIONS' that still works fine
