The patch from 2-1/2 years ago for changing copy-unsafe-links to follow unsafe links on the destination side also included essentially this patch. When I looked at it, however, I asked why in the world is unsafe_symlink() doing strdup() in the first place. I think you could get rid of the calls to strdup() and the new local variables and possibly do a couple casts inside the function instead. -

Hi, I'm a bit confused about what the '--copy-unsafe-links' option considers the 'source tree'. In the man page it says that for links pointing outside the 'source tree' the file will be copied, but when I try this, for all links pointing outside of the local directory the files are copied even though the links point to files that are in the directory tree that is

Greetings, I have written a patch for rsync-2.6.1pre-2 which adds a --time-limit=T option. When this option is used rsync will stop after T minutes and exit. I think this option is useful when rsyncing a large amount of data during the night (non-busy hours), and then stopping when it is time for people to start using the network, during the day (busy hours). If this patch is accepted it may

Greetings, Upon a suggestion to improve the --timelimit patch, I have also added a --stopat option. You can get the patch from this URL and/or cut/paste it from below. http://www.terry.uga.edu/~jft/rsync-timelimit-stopat.patch.gz Here are the details... --timelimit=T This option allows you to specify the maximum number of minutes rsync will run for. This time starts when

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

People of cygwin & rsync, I recently attempted to get cygwin and rsync working to solve a backup/mirroring need in my computer life. Well, as you might guess, I ran into a little but of trouble. Strangely enough, rsync seemed to be regularly hanging when I attempted to do a "get" (sycronize a remote to a local dir). Well, considering I want to automate this, that was not going
