Hi all, Five minutes ago I heard a rumor that Lennart Poettering has rewritten rsync. My top urgency is to download the latest numbered version of rsync untouched by Lennart Poettering: I'll find out if the rumor is true or false later. I've downloaded rsync rsync-3.1.3.tar.gz and rsync-patches-3.1.3.tar.gz from https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/ . Is the source code in both those files unmodified by Lennart Poettering? According to http://0pointer.net/blog/casync-a-tool-for-distributing-file-system-images.html , Lennart Poettering used rsync as an inspiration for his new casync software. If that's all it is, good: Everything's fine. But just in case, can somebody verify that rsync-3.1.3.tar.gz and rsync-patches-3.1.3.tar.gz are unmodified by Lennart Poettering?

Regardless, here is the git history for rsync: https://git.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=shortlog Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett https://samba.org/~abartlet/ Authentication Developer, Samba Team https://samba.org Samba Development and Support, Catalyst IT https://catalyst.net.nz/services/samba
