rsync - Sep 2004 - [Bug 1764] New: dry-run does not show changes in owner / group, permission, or timestamp

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1764

           Summary: dry-run does not show changes in owner / group,
                    permission, or timestamp
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: mwang@unixlabplus.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


1. Test case:

# touch a b
# chmod 777 a; chmod 000 b
# ./rsync -vanx a b          
building file list ... done

wrote 54 bytes  read 20 bytes  148.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

/* Please note the b does not show up. 
 * Without -n option and with addition -v option (-vv), b does show up.
 *
 * The patch provides below does:
 * (1) with "-n" option, b shows up.
 * (2) without "-n" option and with only "-v" option b show
up as well.
 * I consider (1) as a bug fix; and (2) makes the rsync behavior more close
 * to what documented in man page, as attributes are part of a file.
 * /

     -v, --verbose
          This option increases the amount of information you are
          given  during  the  transfer.   By default, rsync works
          silently. A single -v will give you  information  about
          what files are being transferred and a brief summary at
          the end. Two -v flags will give you information on what
          files  are  being skipped and slightly more information
          at the end. More than two -v flags should only be  used
          if you are debugging rsync.

# ./rsync_patched -vanx a b
building file list ... done
chmod: b
