A clean design allows optimization to be done by the compiler, and tight optimization

I am trying to debug the RSYNC client and server by single stepping through them. The server seems to ok up to the point where it is waiting for the client connection. On the client side, I am having trouble finding the right options so that it will connect up to the local server with out fork() a copy of itself or trying to exec the rsh command. This is on RSYNC 2.5.5 on OpenVMS Alpha. If

Hello, rsync.h is always including the syslog.h file, even though it is only used when the LOG_DAEMON macro is defined. Could someone change it to be as follows: #ifdef LOG_DAEMON #include <syslog.h> #endif OpenVMS currently does not have a syslog facility, so it does not have a syslog.h. Thank you, -John wb8tyw@qsl.net Personal Opinion Only

The Open Group Single Unix standard shows that the data types int64 and uint64 are defined in the inttypes.h header file. Rsync is not including this file, nor is there a feature test for this header file in the configure phase, but rsync is using these data types. -John wb8tyw@qsl.net Personal Opinion Only

Compaq C 6.5 OpenVMS Alpha 7.3 The config.h.in template file is missing the line: #undef HAVE_INET_NTOP This caused the resulting CONFIG.H on OpenVMS to not test for the existance of the inet_ntop() routine in it's system tables. This configure bug exposed that the prototype in inet_ntop() in RSYNC.H does not match the one in the Compaq C header files. This stopped the build. I am

I would like to suggest that different programs be used for backups than for file distribution. While the two applications have a lot in common, and could probably share a common library, there are some significant differences in what they need to do. These differences can add needless complexity to the design if a single program is used to do both. A backup program is mainly concerned with

I am still chasing this down, but in doing the build for OpenVMS, I have discovered that one of the popt modules is using HAVE_ALLOCA_H to determine if the alloca function is on a platform. That is not a good assumption. Compaq C does have an alloca() built in (slightly different symbol name, I assume because of symbol naming rules in the C standard.) Because alloca is a non-standard

What is the status of rsync on Windows 2000? I was looking to install it on my test system, and the download directory has a readme file that says I need the cygnus gnu-win32 library. The link refers me to the index page for cygnus, with no way to get to a download area. A google search shows many mirrors of the download directory. All I have checked are completely blank. I will confess

[A repost under a new topic since the other seems to have been lost in the noise] I am basically down to one unresolved compilier diagnostic. The HP/COMPAQ/DEC C compiler is concerned about this line in TOKEN.C 4 22136 temp_byte = (char) n >> 8; ........................................1 %CC-I-RIGHTSHIFTOVR, (1) In this statement, the right shift count

The tests in rsync for features have been changed to testing the value of a macro definition instead of previously testing if the macro was defined. This testing is now inconsistent with the HAVE_SOCKETPAIR macro, where in some places it is tested to see if the macro is defined, and other places to if it has a non zero value. I would rather not globally disable the diagnostic about undefined

Platform: Compaq OpenVMS Alpha 7.3 Compiler: Compaq C T6.5 The following patch is an update to a previous patch that I submitted. The only change from the previous patch is that the const qualifier has been added to write_batch_*() routines to improve compiler efficiency. Because the gdiff -u was done against the distribution it includes the previous patch. The functions with no parameters

Re: Per the discussions about spam on this list. Sending a confirming message to an unregistered poster is not a good idea. The return/reply-to addresses in spam is forged, and that is just adding to some victims e-mail. Filtering runs the risk that a legitimate message gets lost, and the sender does not realize it. Filtering is also the most expensive and innefficient way to deal with

The following popt files need patches in order to compile using Compaq C on OpenVMS. These patches should also be needed on a Tru64 or LINUX on ALPHA using Compaq C. Except for the alloca issue, these should work on any ANSI compliant compiler.

I just installed Samba for VMS (1.9.17p4) on a DecServer 1000A running VMS 7.1 The University Network is primarily NT Server 4.0 SP5. My experience is with Netware and NT, not with VMS, but I have the luck of supporting the system..... My main question is about Encrypted Passwords.....Does this release of Samba support them, or do I have to modify the clients who want access to our Alpha to

Refer to this: https://legacyos.org/vsi-introduces-new-samba-release/ I noticed that VSI, the new owners of VMS, have created a package for Samba4 under OpenVMS. I also notice the samba-vms list appears to be abandoned (for years). So, I apologize for posting here on the general list, but it seemed fruitless trying the dedicated list. I am under the impression that the GPL v3 compels all

Hi, Whenever i am using the command rsync --write-batch -av --stats `cat $1` -e ssh user@remote machine:/destination/ This is writing rsync_argvs files in the home directory as well as to the destination directory. Can anyone give me any idea as how to prevent the writing of rsync_argvs files in the home directory which is of no use. Regards, Surabhi. > ---------- > From:

Platform: Compaq OpenVMS Alpha 7.3 Compiler: Compaq C T6.5 The following patch resolves compile problems with the HLINK.C module. The cast on function argument for the qsort() routine was wrong, and not allowing the compile to complete. When the function definiton of the hlink_compare() is corrected to have the const qualifiers, the cast inside the qsort() function call is no longer
