similar to: Rsync 2.6.3pre2 released

I announced the release of 2.6.3pre1 on the rsync-announce mailing list back on the 12th. I was thinking at the time that this email would get seen by those on the regular rsync list, but I forgot that this is not how the rsync lists are setup. For those that missed it, here is the text of the announcement: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.

I've released rsync 2.6.4pre2. It was a little sooner than expected, but I wanted to get the new keep-alive packets out for testing. Plus, one backward-compatibility bug had the potential to be rather annoying. The changes since 2.6.3 are here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.4pre2-NEWS The changes since 2.6.4pre1 are as follows: - Added a keep-alive packet

Hi, I have the following script that I'm writing to backup my gentoo linux system. ----- start of script ----- #!/bin/sh # # RSYNC_OPTS="--archive --one-file-system --perms --executability --progress --stats --delete-after --hard-links --keep-dirlinks --verbose --inplace" RSYNC_USER="bs" RSYNC_SERVER="192.168.6.6" RSYNC_MODULE="ben-desktop"

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

I'm sure that someone's gonna complain that parsing the output is messed up by this patch, but then they should have told about the typo themselves :-) --- log.c.orig 2004-08-17 10:25:57.000000000 +0200 +++ log.c 2004-09-05 16:28:42.000000000 +0200 @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ { RERR_WAITCHILD , "some error returned by waitpid()" }, { RERR_MALLOC , "error allocating core

Hi, this is possibly a bug report (I'm not sure if this is a feature). It's related to the --keep-dirlinks option, when combined with --delete .

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended.

I have released rsync version 2.6.5pre2 -- the second (and hopefully final) pre-release for 2.6.5. The 2.6.5 release is primarily a bug-fix release to squash some annoying bugs that made it into 2.6.4, though a few minor enhancements did make it in as well. To see all the changes since 2.6.4, go here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.5pre1-NEWS To read the pre-release man

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

I have made rsync 3.0.3pre2 available for release testing. This is another bug-fix release, with the only "enhancements" being made to the manpages and the testsuite. These are the changes that have happened since 3.0.3pre1: - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right errno when a function failed. -
