This patch updates the files under popt/ to the latest vendor drop. The only
change is the inclusion of a FreeBSD-specific patch to popt.c. This is needed
in case somebody decides to build rsync on that platform without using the
port. I'm not happy about the wording in popt/README.rsync so I may change
it.
The patch is available at
http://www.catnook.com/rsync-popt-1.5.1.patch
Comments welcome!
(Note that I will be losing DSL connectivity for a week any moment now while I
switch providers.)

Near as I can tell the popt I was patching was v1.3. Do you (or anyone else) know if the 1.5.1 version fixes cygwin and MSVC compilation? (by MSVC I mean doing "configure CC=cl --build=windows32" in cygwin). Should I be submitting my changes somewhere else upstream? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger abo@minkirri.apana.org.au for more info, including pgp key ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I do agree it's a bit hard to understand what you're saying in the README. Has someone from FreeBSD has already pushed the patch to the RedHat chaps? Please go ahead and commit when you're happy; perhaps add a NEWS entry. Thanks, -- Martin
