Dear rsync people, I have finally made packages for rsync 2.6.8 with ACL support. You can download a prepatched source package and RPMs from here: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/ Or you can use this yum repository: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/rpm/ The RPM is called rsync-acl so automatic updating tools will know not to toss it in favor of plain rsync, but it "Provides" rsync so other packages like rsnapshot will be happy. At some point in the future, I will get back to improving the ACL support. Matt McCutchen

For instance, I got rid of some really wacky memory allocation routines (making even more extensive changes than some of the memory allocation improvements that you had started to work on). I also added the proper reporting of changed ACLs in the itemized output (just to name the two biggest improvements). Thanks again for your help! ..wayne..
