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

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

I've been working for the past few months with open-source solutions for syncing Palm PDAs (Coldsync, mostly). I've been becoming increasingly annoyed with Palm's Desktop Link Protocol and the sync mechanism, and am considering replacing it with a third-party application for the Palm. Since I've had good luck with rsync in the past, its seemed an obvious choice. I've

Hi, Where can I get good pointers on the rolling checksum algorithm used in rsync? I need an 8-bit or 12-bit rolling checksum too. Any place where "rolling" checksum algorithms are discussed?

Hello, I'm currently evaluating the possibility of implementing a rsync client in a project for my company. The platform used is currently not supported and implementing the client from scratch currently seems to be the most feasible approach. For that I'd be very much interested in a description of the protocol that rsync talks on port 873. Is such a description available somewhere? I

I'm trying to use the rsync algorithm for incremental backups. After a quick look at rsync I saw the batch mode operations, and I thought that maybe I can modify them for incremental backups. What is needed is to add an option to save the checksums of all the files of the level 0 backup and a second option to use the level n checksum to calculate the delta batch files for the level n+1

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

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

Apologies in advance for a kind of long question: I've written an application called changedfiles (http://www.bangstate.com/software.html#changedfiles), which consists of two parts: a linux kernel module that reports all file operations to a device special, and a userspace daemon which can take arbitray shell action on files matching regexp rules specified in a config file. E.G.,

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'm working on a commercial project that would benefit immensely from the use of rsync. However, I cannot convince management that rsync is a worthy tool due to the rote "it's shareware, it's not supported" FUD. Are there any documented, corportate users of rsync? Testimonials? In short, how do I drag this risk-averse group out of the FTP age into the rsync present? /p

Hello, just being fascinated by rsync I wanted to look at the distribution files at ftp://rsync.samba.org, but it was not possible to get a ftp connection to that address. Is the ftp service down there? Thanks in advance for any soon helpful hint. Have a nice day Michael -- Michael Schmidt mschmidt@fh-koblenz.de MIRROR OF Ghostscript * X-Windows X11

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. 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'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

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

Hello everybody, About librsync, does anyone know how to patch the delta without creating a new file ? I used the librsync and it always generates a new file, which is embarrassing if the file is over 1Gb. I tried to store the new file in RAM, but it saturates the machine. Is there a possibility to write in the current file to be synchronized, although this file is currently being
