similar to: Rsync Protocol Description?

On the subject of needed patches, I just recently completed a patch for librsync that fixed the mdfour code to have uint_64 or 2 uint_32's for size. Without this, the checksums on files >512Megs are incorrect. The code should drop into rsync without a hitch. The same goes for mdfour in samba, becuase that is where librsync got the code from anyway. Robert Weber University of

I'm interested in these very questions (librsync-rsync relationship, remaining limitations of rsync, active prospects for ground-up rewrites), Google searches for rsync info have proved a little too vague due to the programs ubiquity. Much has certainly changed since this was written, could some people with knowledge in these areas could update martin's response for the state of rsync,

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

Thanks Donovan, I downloaded the librsync 0.9.6 from sf and it compiled just fine believe it or not in the new visual studio.net. There where warnings but no fatal errors and the exe seems to be running just fine. I've tested it just now on a 60 meg mdb file that I've been trying to backup.. it seems to work great!. I even saved the original so I could apply patches and then file compare

Hi Donovan, Thank you for the insight. I will keep you posted on this.

I've been having a lot of fun improving my new-protocol testing app. It's seems to be in pretty good shape (for test code), so I figured I'd announce another release for those brave souls that may want to help me in my thinking about a (potential) new rsync protocol. It's a tar.gz file this time because I broke up the code into multiple files. I named it "rzync" just

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

Dear list, I'd like to have your expertise opinion on following issue. Out of a concrete need we developed an application that will rsync any changes on a local directory structure to a remove system the moment they happen using the linux kernel watch feature. This is in our opinion much more elegant compared to invoking rsync every x seconds/minutes from cron, or having to use a special

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

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

Hi, I am working on a replication tool for lustre filesystems. We have introduced a mechanism for getting the changes that have been made to a lustre filesystem - similar to inotify. We call this mechanism, changelogs. For performing replication, we open the source file using its 'file identifier' or FID (think of it an inode that is unique cluster wide) instead of its path. The file is

G'day, I've been working on a Python interface to librsync and have noticed that it uses md4sum code borrowed from Andrew Tridgell and Martin Pool that comes via rsync and was originally written for samba. Is there anything special about this code compared to the RSA md4sum code that can be found with libmd <"http://www.penguin.cz/~mhi/libmd/">? Python uses the RSA

I found some time in the past week to work on a simple test app that would hopefully help to answer a few questions that came up recently: 1. Can a single-process generator+receiver work well? (Looks good so far, but I haven't run any multi-processor timing tests yet.) 2. How easy is it to use librsync? (Pretty easy.) 3. How small would a transfer-only tool be? (It's currently

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Noted in the readme that rsync is licensed under GPL, and have some questions about this. Reading through a couple different places on the internet, of people wondering why there are few to no GUI front-ends (are there any good ones? if so, much of my questions here can be disregarded). I think I found one project, a PHP-GTK interface, that

Hi, I have a unique issue that I am dealing with here. I need to develop rsync algorithm into a library that can be re-used with my VB / VC application on Windows platform. I need your advice if there is any library already available on the Internet for this? I did get librsync but that is just a header file which I do not know how to compile also with the existing code I have. Can you

So I've got this situation where I have two systems connected via a protocol that looks nothing at all like IP, and I'd like to be able to rsync between them. I can, though, open a perfectly normal looking socket through various magic and trickery. I've managed to get rsync to work by using the "rsync --rsh=mymagictransportprogram" style invocation, but for a number of
