Classic confinement request: duplicity

I am one of the maintainers of duplicity, a backup tool: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

Duplicity is the command-line tool that sits underneath Deja Dup, which was granted classic confinement here:

Classic confinement request for deja-dup

Hello! I’m the maintainer of Déjà Dup, a general purpose GNOME backup tool. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup It would ideally have read/write access to any file on the system for backing up / restoring purposes. So classic seems like a good fit to me. The :system-files and :personal-files interfaces don’t seem suited for this usage pattern (like, I can’t just specify :system-files of ‘/’ and get access to everything ) Thanks!

Duplicity needs classic confinement for the same reasons: to read and write across the filesystem (for backup and restore).

The requirements are understood and I’ve vetted the publisher. Granting classic. This is now live.

@aaronw - fyi you can either request a manual review or upload a new revision and it should pass automated review.
