Hi, This is mostly intended for the maintainers to read. What's intended way to actually get patches merged into rsync? I've tried: - Mailing list posts - GitHub PRs --ignore-non-existing-directory https://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2015-November/030455.html https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync-patches/issues/8 https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/595 TCP options: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/514 https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync-patches/issues/9 I didn't use the Samba bugzilla, because it seems dead (For 2024, the entire rsync product has 4 bugs that c...

Actually... I have made an extremely small and simple patch implementing an option --time-only, and I have made a pull request for it: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/719 It allows you to truncate your local files after transfer.

On the next run, the file will not be retransmitted as it looks only to the file stamp, ignoring the size. T...

Hi all, Another thing I've found is that my backups have lost their permissions. I misunderstood the --chmod option, thinking that it specified the permissions at the destination. What actually happens is that it overrides the source permissions, and has a side effect of the destination permissions being the same as the source. It looks like it works, when metadata is lost. I now need to

For your situation I think you should use both --fake-super and -M--super because reading the manual it says: "For a local copy, this option affects both the source and the destination. If you wish a local copy to enable this option just for the destination files, specify -M--fake-super. If you wish a local copy to enable this option just for the source files, combine --fake-super with

Hello everyone :) I'd like to follow up on this thread of mine, if that's okay? Is there anything I could do to get the feature functionality of "using rsync to create a thin (attributes-only) copy" upstream on the long term? Could I talk to a developer, for hire? I'm really professionally interested in such a feature, as it would greatly make our lives in the
