Merge lp:~verb/duplicity/boto-min-version into lp:duplicity/0.6

[Lee Verberne]

This updates documentation and error messages to match the current actual version requirements of boto backend.

[edso (ed.so)]

can you update the manpage 'bin/duplicity.1', section REQUIREMENTS as well please?

just curious, why odes multi_boto need 2.1.1 instead of 2.0 ?

[Lee Verberne (verb)]

I hadn't noticed it before, but the man page already reflects a boto requirement of 2.0+.

I haven't submitted any work on boto_multi, but the README said the minimum version was 2.1.1, I added it to boto_multi for consistency. In retrospect, it seems pretty unlikely that the minimum version is actually 2.1.1.

According to the release notes, 2.1.1 is a bugfix release that only affects RDS. 2.1.0 doesn't list any changes for multipart upload, either. boto_multi may only require 2.0. I'll test it with 2.0.

right, the README doesn't get that much love.. we should actually sync manpage requirements section into README, as it is much more up to date.

please do and update your branch accordingly .. thanks ede/duply.net
