Dear rsync people, I have finally made packages for rsync 2.6.8 with ACL support. You can download a prepatched source package and RPMs from here: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/myrsync/ Or you can use this yum repository: http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/rpm/ The RPM is called rsync-acl so automatic updating tools will know not to toss it in favor of plain rsync, but it "Provides" rsync

Dear rsync people (particularly Wayne), I am finding that the CVS version of rsync hangs during most, but not all, local copies. The problem goes away if I pass --protocol=29, so I'm guessing it is related to the incremental file-list sending. The hanging seems to be timing-dependent. Increasing the verbosity level seems to increase the chance of a hang. If I run rsync repeatedly with the

Wayne, I noticed that you quietly removed the compatibility mode for sending ACLs to rsyncs before 2.6.8 in revision 1.169 of acls.diff. It would be good to document this in the man page. A metapatch to acls.diff that revises the documentation in rsync.yo is attached; I didn't regenerate rsync.1 because I don't have yodl 2 set up. Where did you get the version of yodl 2 that you are

hi, as it's been awhile since my last attempts w/ v269, i'm building the latest rsync3-svs on osx 10.4.8; looking to see what's evolved re: acls & xattrs support on osx ... @ build, i note complaint abt a missing yodl2man, which originates with YODL. YODL, then requires icmake. as neither is available on osx, it's src build time. on building debian's icmake (already

Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

Hi all, there is a little problem when building rsync outside it's source dir with installing the man pages: they are not found and therefor not installed. The attached patch fixes this situation.

Wayne, I have just completed a much enhanced version of "patchsync", the tool I have been using to synchronize my copy of acls.diff with my copy of ACL-enabled rsync. It is a compelling alternative to "verify-patches" for mere mortals who want to follow development of rsync branches. Would you please consider mentioning it on the rsync Web site, in the source tree, or both?

Dear WizaRds, unfortunately, I have been unable to replace the '99' and '999' entries in library(UsingR) attach(babies) as definitions for missing values NA, because sometimes the 99 entry is indeed a correct value. Usually, or so I thought, NAs can easily replace a, say, 999 entry via mymat[mymat==999] <- "yodl" in a matrix or data frame. Alas, the babies'

Wayne, I have a few more concerns about the git repository: 1. It looks like you retroactively removed all generated files from the history. This may inconvenience a user who seeks to an older version of the source code and lacks the magic "configure" to help regenerate the files. You also removed "rsync.1" even from revisions before it became a file generated from

Hi all, I have just released the fourth alpha snapshot of what will become Samba 2.2.0. It's available from the usual ftp sites, in the alpha directory as : <ftp mirror>:/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.2.0-alpha3.tar.gz If people could test this snapshot out and provide feedback about what is broken and let the lists know that would help. The problem acting as a PDC for

In the manpage, all occurrences of a single quote (or apostrophe) are preceded by a backslash. This means that these get turned into acute accents by groff; here's the relevant part of the groff manpage: \' The acute accent ; same as \(aa. Unescaped: apostrophe, right quotation mark, single quote (ASCII 0x27). I think all these backslashes should be removed, as the

Wayne, I have redone get_local_name again (patch attached), this time to enable rsync to remove a file to make way for a destination directory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements. Tell me what you think, and if you decide to commit my code,

Attached is a patch that improves the discussion of --progress in the rsync man page. It makes one badly needed update: the man page needs to use "(xfer#5, to-check=169/396)" instead of "(5, 57.1% of 396)". In addition, I tried to make the rest of the discussion more precise.

Wayne, I see you committed my man page improvements for --filter (from a long time ago) and --hard-links, except you omitted the mention of --link-dest as a second potential source of unwanted hard links among destination files (the original focus of bug 3693). You don't think this is worthy of mention? Matt

Dear rsync people (particularly Wayne), I think it would be helpful for the options in the man page to be divided into sections based on which aspect of rsync's behavior they affect. Each section could also document rsync's default behavior when none of the options are given. Collecting all the possibilities for each aspect of rsync's behavior in one place would make it much easier
