I use rdiff-backup. Had a look at it's most recent changelog and there's 
been a bit of activity recently. If I stepped up and offered to maintain 
it I might need a discussion on how to get started. I cloned it's git 
repository and tried to compile it, it complained about me not having 
docker.

perl-xml-libxml is in the DeadSBoBuilds list, but is a requirement for 
get-iplayer which is not in the DeadSBoBuilds list. How's that going to 
work?
