similar to: question about librsync : patch function

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for questions regarding librsync, but couldn't find any others. I'm trying to get librsync working properly on Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 Sparc servers. The problem is that while librsync appears to compile cleanly, "make check" fails the sources.test. Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be? Might I need a specific

All, Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained = on the web? It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates. The authors are listed as: Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is = available on the rproxy site

Hi. It seems that librsync got left by the roadside ... is there anything similar for rsync 3.x.x? Or, is there any easy way to use the library routines in the rsync 3.x.x source independantly? The only other open source software I've found that looks similar is xdelta, and it's still beta for v3.x Thanks, Sam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I found the cvs repository at = http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/librsync/librsync/ The sourceforge project was just setup a couple of days ago. That must have = been why google could not find it yesterday. I believe the samba cvs site for librsync is now deprecated. The 0.9.5.1 version I was looking for looks to me to be a Jun. 27 cvs snapshot = from wherever cvs was at that

I am the author of BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) and I am working on adding rsync support to BackupPC. I am implementing the server-side in perl, and the client will run vanilla rsync. (BTW, is there the protocol documented? I've answered all my questions by looking at the source, but it would be great to check against any docs.) I started with librsync 0.9.3 and the

I'm interested in these very questions (librsync-rsync relationship, remaining limitations of rsync, active prospects for ground-up rewrites), Google searches for rsync info have proved a little too vague due to the programs ubiquity. Much has certainly changed since this was written, could some people with knowledge in these areas could update martin's response for the state of rsync,

I have been really lax in supporting librsync for the last few months, because of a new job and taking over maintenance of rsync

For anyone who'd like to check out the latest release of my "rzync" [sic] test release, I've just released a new version. For those that might not have time to look at the code but could provide some feedback based on a rough description, I've created the following simple web page: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/new-protocol.html Here's the tar file of the new

On the subject of needed patches, I just recently completed a patch for librsync that fixed the mdfour code to have uint_64 or 2 uint_32's for size. Without this, the checksums on files >512Megs are incorrect. The code should drop into rsync without a hitch. The same goes for mdfour in samba, becuase that is where librsync got the code from anyway. Robert Weber University of

Hi, I am working on a replication tool for lustre filesystems. We have introduced a mechanism for getting the changes that have been made to a lustre filesystem - similar to inotify. We call this mechanism, changelogs. For performing replication, we open the source file using its 'file identifier' or FID (think of it an inode that is unique cluster wide) instead of its path. The file is

Hey, I'm currently adding rsync to pacman (http://archlinux.org/pacman). A static version of the program is used for rescue operations. Because of this it is impossible to use the rsync client programm via an execve call and we need a version implemented in C. So I started implementing it. But the rsync source isn't beautiful or structured - it's just a big hunk of code. I spent

Hi, I have a unique issue that I am dealing with here. I need to develop rsync algorithm into a library that can be re-used with my VB / VC application on Windows platform. I need your advice if there is any library already available on the Internet for this? I did get librsync but that is just a header file which I do not know how to compile also with the existing code I have. Can you

G'day, I've been working on a Python interface to librsync and have noticed that it uses md4sum code borrowed from Andrew Tridgell and Martin Pool that comes via rsync and was originally written for samba. Is there anything special about this code compared to the RSA md4sum code that can be found with libmd <"http://www.penguin.cz/~mhi/libmd/">? Python uses the RSA

our daily backup is done using the rdiff-backup tool, which in turn utilizes rsync/librsync to do the actual mirroring work. a few days ago we did a refactoring and renamed a bunch of directories. for backward compatibility we maintain the old names by symlinking it to the new names. so, for example, oldname1/ now becomes newname1/, and oldname1 is now a symlink to newname1/. we found that

So I've got this situation where I have two systems connected via a protocol that looks nothing at all like IP, and I'd like to be able to rsync between them. I can, though, open a perfectly normal looking socket through various magic and trickery. I've managed to get rsync to work by using the "rsync --rsh=mymagictransportprogram" style invocation, but for a number of

Thanks Donovan, I downloaded the librsync 0.9.6 from sf and it compiled just fine believe it or not in the new visual studio.net. There where warnings but no fatal errors and the exe seems to be running just fine. I've tested it just now on a 60 meg mdb file that I've been trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare

Dear list, I'd like to have your expertise opinion on following issue. Out of a concrete need we developed an application that will rsync any changes on a local directory structure to a remove system the moment they happen using the linux kernel watch feature. This is in our opinion much more elegant compared to invoking rsync every x seconds/minutes from cron, or having to use a special
