Re: rdiff-backup-fs filesize for large files

[Eric Lavarde]

Hi,

I can't help but I created the next issue, for someone to take, and 
document/fix the build process:

https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-fs/issues/4

The MR from Arrigo is also merged, not knowing if it really helps, as 
nobody built the code :-/

KR, Eric
