similar to: Patch: update popt/ to 1.5.1

Perhaps now is a good time to commit this patch which updates the included popt to version 1.7. This has been tested on FreeBSD and Solaris. http://www.catnook.com/patches/rsync-popt-1.7.diff Comments? -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Sunnyvale, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/

http://www.catnook.com/patches/rsync-popt-1.6.4.patch has a patch which upgrades the popt included with rsync to the latest version, 1.6.4. The configure script had to be regenerated (with autoconf 2.53) because popt.c wants HAVE_FLOAT_H. As an aside, I have heard people complain about this version of autoconf generating scripts that break when run under bash (as /bin/sh). Comments? -- Jos

There is an rsync/popt/config.log in CVS - presumably an accidental "cvs add". Max.

Hello list, This is a patch to rsync 2.5.5, and it serves two purposes. The small patches to batch.c, flist.c and log.c simply add "void" to some function definitions so that all declarations in proto.h have full parameter lists. unsigned char read_batch_flags() OLD unsigned char read_batch_flags(void) NEW The SCO UNIXWare compiler correctly objected to these functions not having a

Hi, I am trying to compile rsync 2.5.5 on a Tru64 box. I downloaded configure.in revision 1.148, which I believe is the correct fix for the getaddrinfo problem; however I still have errors compiling rsync. Also I had to change line 22 in options.c from #include "popt.h" to #include "popt/popt.h". Any suggestions or ideas? Tan Dang

Is there a way to specify on a per-object basis that Puppet should merely report that an object needs to be updated without actually performing the update? This would make it possible to detect changes to critical objects (e.g. config files) that Puppet shouldn''t try to fix automaticaly. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

This patch against OpenSSH 3.2.3p1 implements an ssh-agent authentication retry mechanism which is useful when starting many ssh clients in a short period of time. The number of retries and the maximum delay between retries is runtime-configurable using AuthMaxRetries <integer> AuthRetryDelay <seconds> The patch is available at:

FYI: We have a custom `checkout'' type which stopped working when migrating from 0.22.4 to 0.23.2-ish. This turned out to have been caused by the location of property.rb changing between 0.22.4 (puppet/type/property.rb) and 0.23.2-ish (puppet/property.rb). (I say 0.23.2-is because I''m using 40491ebe7ca9692b57fb533412ece8fb694b7d4c since it only has a few extra bugfixes over

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. Anyone have an example of an MD4 collision so I can test that case? :) Patch Summary: -1 +1 Makefile.in -0 +304 hashlink.c (new)

Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

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, Is there a way in which rsync's -z compression (zlib) utility can be benchmarked? I'm trying to compare the compression ratio between rsync and external compression tools like gzip and bzip2. Are there any advantages to using rsync's internal compression mechanism specified with the -z option compared to solely applying external compression i.e. bzip2 to the files and invoking

[Apologies if this is an off-topic question; please direct me to a more appropriate place if so.] Using Kerberos/GSSAPIAuthentication, is there a way to centrally control/manage (perhaps using LDAP?) which user principals can log into what hosts/accounts? -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

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

Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean
