rsync - Jan 2006 - ACL support in rsync 2.6.6

Hi,

Can someone tell me the status of ext3 acl support in rsync?
I saw this post from may 2004 which seems to indicate there
is a patch.

http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-May/009466.html

But it still appears that 2.6.6 doesn't have any acl support
included. Is that true?

Does anyone know where to get the latest patch for 2.6.6 if it
even exists?

Thanks
Paul

Yes, but the patch comes with it.  Apply, and follow the instructions
in, patches/acls.diff.  Configure rsync with ACL support, which requires
ACL headers and libraries to be available your system:
	./configure --with-acl-support
The resulting rsync will copy ACLs if you give it the -A, --acls option.

I'm guessing you just want to copy ACLs for backup purposes.  But if you
also want rsync to use default ACLs as appropriate when receiving files
without -p, consider my custom rsync, which is available at:
	http://mysite.verizon.net/hashproduct/myrsync/
There are plans to include default ACL observance in the ACL patch for
the official rsync 2.6.7.
