rsync - Aug 2016 - Rsync (3.1.1) reports directories but not files with changed permissions

Hello,

$ ssh remote mkdir /tmp/tests
$ ssh remote mkdir /tmp/tests/test.d
$ ssh remote touch /tmp/tests/test

$ ssh remote chmod 700 /tmp/tests
$ ssh remote chmod 700 /tmp/tests/test.d
$ ssh remote chmod 600 /tmp/tests/test

$ rsync -rp remote:/tmp/tests /tmp

$ chmod o+r /tmp/tests/test.d
$ chmod o+r /tmp/tests/test

$ rsync -rpcv --info=flist0,stats0 remote:/tmp/tests /tmp -n -i
.f...p..... tests/test
.d...p..... tests/test.d/

$ rsync -rpcv --info=flist0,stats0 remote:/tmp/tests /tmp -n
tests/test.d/

I would expect rsync to report changes in permissions consistently
both in case of files and directories.

Can anyone at least confirm that this is an issue or if I’m doing
something wrong?


Thanks,
Ádám

Hi.

This seems a bug yes. I checked that it shows up also when one uses
the --times option instead of --checksum.

Using -i (--itemize-changes) seems the only current possible turnaround.
