Okay, so I have pushed the beta to Fedora rawhide for anyone who wants
to try it there, but I've also created a COPR repository for all
supported architectures for F29, F30, F31, EPEL7 & EPEL8.

You can access it with "dnf copr enable frankcrawford/rdiff-backup" and
then "dnf install rdiff-backup".

Note that this the beta version, with all the standard
qualifications.  Also, while it should be compatible with existing
backups, you cannot mix current Fedora python2 release (1.2.8) and this
release.
