rsync - Oct 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 2790] Add support for converting filenames into different encodings

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2790





------- Comment #12 from matt at mattmccutchen.net  2009-10-30 10:48 CST -------
The stable rsync has had --iconv for a while now.  Is there a reason this bug
isn't marked fixed?  (If someone wants to pursue my idea from comment #10,
they
should enter a new bug or at least narrow the summary of this one.)

You're right, this bug should be closed, so I'm doing so now.

The idea of doing an rsync version that does all the conversions on one side so
that it can work with an older, non-iconv rsync is not something that I plan to
implement.

Note that it would require that the converting side cache both versions of the
names (because it needs to be able to sort by the remote names, and access
files via the local names), and thus bloat the amount of required memory for
the transfer.
