It is not maintained by the Fedora team.   Of the four you showed me, he is 
rebuilding the same b47
srpm  for each new version of Fedora.   Thank you for helping me make my point.

Only this maintainer.  The reset are my heroes.  They are very responsive and 
very professional.

He is only rebuilding an old srpm, including a bug that frightens the heck out 
of users.  And he ignored my
request to correct the problem.    He is skating.

Sorry.  I am not smart enough.  I know my limitations.

It may be "just noise"  the two times I did a restore it was a small single 
file.  The the error scared the heck out of me.
And the "noise" was serious enough for up stream to correct it.

Or find a better program.  It has been pointed out to me this is a very old 
program
originally made for tape backup.  Do you have a recommendation?

Thank you for the thoughtful  response!
