similar to: move rsync development tree to BitKeeper?

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I tried to compile rsync2.5.3 on Solaris5.7, and I still got the same errors as Solaris5.8, can you please help me to look at the problem? I got error messages: Configure was run successfully, then I ran make, I got: "batch.c", line 408: operands have incompatible types: pointer to unsigned long ":" pointer to unsigned int cc: acomp failed for batch.c ***

If you only run released (rather than development) versions of rsync then you can skip this message. rsync's source tree has been converted from CVS to BitKeeper. This message contains brief instructions for people who want to track development or make contributions. I think it should take about 30-60 minutes to get started with BK. I hope you will agree that it is worthwhile. First

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

I wrote a patch to make the number of times and and the delay between retries that ssh attempts to talk to ssh-agent configurable. This patch is indispensible when running multiple ssh sessions in parallel from a script (e.g. to run commands on a large number of hosts); without the patch, many ssh sessions simply fail because they cannot contact the agent, rendering the mechanism unusable. If

Here's a list of cosmetic changes I'd be willing to make to the code in order to make it more consistent, which stylisticly it currently is not. - separate function definitions by 2 newlines - put spaces after commas in arg lists - put spaces around assignments - remove trailing spaces - change space indents to tabs - fix multiline comments - remove redundant /* dw */ comments (Deborah

Hi, I''m currently writing a Rails app, in a repository controlled by BitKeeper. BitKeeper creates files, in the sub-directories it controls, so for source file yyy.zzz in Directory XXX it saves a file called s.yyy.zzz in subdirectory XXX/SCCS. When these files are created in config/initializers, rails tries to load them when it is run (as they retain the .rb extension). So my question

I see very odd results from rsync 2.4.7pre1, the latest cvs version (sept 12, i think was the last modified file). We have a number of network-attached storage devices. 10/100 ethernet, nfs2 mounted (under nfs3, they buffer deletes, and recursive deletions fail). Usually, these are kept syncronized across a wan by a nightly cronjob, We have a few we keep in reserve, which we syncronize

OpenSSH still has this feature, SSH-1.2.27 no longer has it. Admittedly it can be useful sometimes, even though I'd prefer this to be done using a trivial shell wrapper, which would be the UNIX way of doing things. Not being able to call OpenSSH's ssh by another name (say ``ssh1'') can get in the way when having to maintain two versions of ssh in parallel because the ``ssh ->

Latest CVS gives the following error with the Compaq C compiler on Tru64 UNIX: cc -I. -I. -O2 -std1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt -c batch.c -o batch.o cc: Error: batch.c, line 408: In this statement, a common type could not be determined for the 2nd and 3rd operands ("&s->count" and "&int_zero") of a conditional operator. (badcondit)

rsync+ is ready to go onto HEAD. Could Jos or somebody else who's used the feature before please prepare a few paragraphs for the manpage explaining how they work? Either send a patch to the .yo files or just plain text. Thanks, -- Martin

The BitKeeper repository has been taken down, and all the code moved into CVS. While BitKeeper is a superior source management tool to CVS in many ways, it lacks in one important way, Freedom. With the recent change to their license, taking away more of our freedoms, I felt it was time to go back to CVS. All the code has been imported into the xiph.org CVS repository. I'll try to revise

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

Hi everybody! Now that RSYNC has RSYNC+ included a good usage would be to use RSYNC+ to gather update-date, then multicast that on your hosts and process it. So my question is: does anyone know of a product which does reliable multicasting? (source available would be preferred) Simple pointers are appreciated; if noone has one I'm thinking about writing one myself. Thanks for all help!

Please find enclosed two patches for OpenSSH 3.1p1. The first patch solves a problem where sessions will be left "hanging" when you normally exit from a ssh shell (for example by logging out from the remote host via "exit" or "logout"). The problem seems to be that sshd (and some other parts of OpenSSH) doesn't check the return code and errno from waitpid() for

People might find this entertaining and/or useful: http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_10.html With the help of Jos Backus I just discovered the answer to http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync-cvs/2002-January/001271.html is that Sun's test(1) is breathtakingly broken when passed a dangling symlink: $ ln -s /nowhere bad $ ls -l bad lrwxrwxrwx 1 josb
