Release the fix for the argv use-after-free issue with popt 1.19?
I'm using Fedora 38's rsync-3.2.7-2.fc38.x86_64 package, and the other day, I noticed that one of my backup scripts was creating directories with garbage names. Eventually I tracked the problem down to the argv use-after-free issue with popt 1.19 that was fixed in commit 8990ad96de881f7332d16d32485f9d8b841a87d2. That fix has not been released. Is an rsync release coming any time soon? If not, I'll ask Fedora to consider adding the individual patch to their package. (And in the meantime, I've switched to using my own rsync 3.2.7 package with the patch.) Thanks, Matt
