Dear rsync people, I have finally made packages for rsync 2.6.8 with ACL support. You can download a prepatched source package and RPMs from here: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/ Or you can use this yum repository: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/rpm/ The RPM is called rsync-acl so automatic updating tools will know not to toss it in favor of plain rsync, but it "Provides" rsync so other packages like rsnapshot will be happy. At some point in t...

..., C Sights, and list, I have started working on my rewritten version of the rsync man page. So far, I have redone the top of the man page and the list of options; I improved many of the one-line option descriptions. The yodl and man versions of my man page are available here and here: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/private/rsync-new-manpage/rsync.yo http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/private/rsync-new-manpage/rsync.1 What do you all think so far? Am I going in the right direction? Matt

Is this a known issue? rsync does not always preserve dates and permissions on symbolic links, and while the -i option indicates it is trying to bring things in sync, it does not. Maybe between OS's that have sufficiently different implementations, this is not possible.

...ling alternative to "verify-patches" for mere mortals who want to follow development of rsync branches. Would you please consider mentioning it on the rsync Web site, in the source tree, or both? You could link to this page, where I explain how to use patchsync with rsync: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/index.html#patchsync You could even include patchsync in patches/ or support/ of the source tree if that would be appropriate.

...t the rsync source code from http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.8.tar.gz , extract it, and apply the ACL patch: $ patch -p1 <patches/acls.diff If you have trouble with this for some reason, here is a package I made of the source code with the patch already applied: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/rsync-acl-2.6.8.tar.bz2 Then, configure rsync with ACLs enabled, compile it, and install it: $ ./configure --enable-acl-support $ make $ make install If you did it right, rsync should list "ACLs" among its "capabilities" when you run: $ rsync -...

For those that like to assist in the testing of rsync, the CVS version now defaults to doing an incremental file-list scan when it is recursing through the directories. This avoids keeping the whole file list in memory, and allows the transfer to start working on changed files before it has completed the recursive scan of the sending side. The code appears to be working well so far, but there
