Having built rsync 2.5.5 on IRIX 6.2 with gcc 3.1, I ran into two failures when running the testsuite with make check: both the chgrp and hardlinks tests fail: The failure in the chgrp test occurs here: + rsync -rtgvvv /amnt/callisto/volumes/obj-irix5/local/obj.irix5/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.chgrp/from/ /amnt/callisto/volumes/obj-irix5/local/obj.irix5/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.chgrp/to/ rsync: opendir

While installing rsync on a new Sun Netra running Solaris 2.8, two tests (chgrp and hardlinks) failed. I found that these tests execute rsync while other successfull tests exectute $RSYNC. It is fortunate that my shell path was quite restricted and that no earlier version of rsync was installed on my path. The system would have run the chgrp and hardlinks tests with an earlier rsync if it had

There is a small configure glitch for rsync-2.5.5rc1 on Apple Darwin (== MacOS X) [ uname -a Darwin darwin.math.utah.edu 5.2 Darwin Kernel Version 5.2: Fri Dec 7 21:39:35 PST 2001; root:xnu/xnu-201.14.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc ] the config.h file gets the line #define INET6 1 The link then fails with /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _freehostent _getipnodebyaddr

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

Add new option --ignore-non-existing-directory, that is a variant of --ignore-non-existing, but applies ONLY to directories. This was previously proposed in bug #8366, but I independently had a use case for it in the Gentoo infrastructure. X-URL: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8366 X-URL:

Hi. The choice of 'config.h' for testing does not consider the possiblity of objdir != srcdir builds. The small patch below replaces 'config.h' with 'configure.in' in keeping with the 'config' name choice.

WayneD's clone-dest patch seems to be working for me, it's available here: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync-patches/blob/master/clone-dest.diff I've written some very basic tests, which I've attached to this email, in case they are of use to anyone else. They're also available here: https://github.com/josephmaher/rsync Notes: Tests need to be run as root.

The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to --ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a --dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination with transient increments in dry_run; this caused

Try adding a star at the end. eg : /home/bob/.mozilla/firefox/* If this is still not excluding as you expect then please let me know.

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?

When I rsync a large directory (a few thousand files in multiple subdirectories), it has recently begun to hang and not return to me. The system I am rsyncing from is relese 2.4.1, and the system I am rsyncing to is release 2.5.4. I am running on aix (both ends). I used to use the following: /usr/contrib/bin/rsync -vrace ssh --include-from $tmpFile --exclude "*"

Here is part of my backup script: nice -n 15 rsync -avl --exclude=".*" \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ "$fromdir" "$todir" Here is the content of /home/bob/backup_includes /home/bob/.vimrc /home/bob/.gitconfig My problem is that neither the .vimrc nor .gitconfig are copied to the backup directory. I have read the man page about

Hi, I've been trying to use "--checksum-seed" to speed up backups . I have a homebrew script which creates incremental backups using hardlinks. To save disk space I turn on --checksum so that when file's mod-times change rsync doesn't create a new file (breaking the hardlinking) unless the contents of the file are different as well. I tested the command: #rsync -aHiy

Hi Folks, I can't get the syntax of --include-from right, nothing at all gets transferred. The rsync command: # do the backup nice -n 15 rsync -av \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ --exclude-from="/home/bob/backup_excludes" \ $fromdir $todir The excludes file: .* *~ Videos/ Downloads/ Dropbox/ The includes file: .vimrc .gitconfig .bash_aliases .bashrc
