./net/rsync, Network file distribution/synchronisation utility

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.4.1, Package name: rsync-3.4.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.

rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
This makes rsync a good remote file distribution/synchronisation utility
in a dialup PPP/SLIP environment.

Note: it requires rsync on the destination machine.

There is a Computer Science Technical Report on the rsync algorithm
included in the distribution, and is also available as
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync/tech_report.ps

NEWS for rsync 3.3.0 (6 Apr 2024)

Changes in this version:

BUG FIXES:

Fixed a bug with --sparse --inplace where a trailing gap in the source file \ 
would not clear out the trailing data in the destination file.

Fixed an buffer overflow in the checksum2 code if SHA1 is being used for the \ 
checksum2 algorithm.

Fixed an issue when rsync is compiled using _FORTIFY_SOURCE so that the extra \ 
tests don't complain about a strlcpy() limit value (which was too large, even \ 
though it wasn't possible for the larger value to cause an overflow).

Add a backtick to the list of characters that the filename quoting needs to \ 
escape using backslashes.

Fixed a string-comparison issue in the internal handling of --progress (a locale \ 
such as tr_TR.utf-8 needed the internal triggering of --info options to use \ 
upper-case flag names to ensure that they match).

Make sure that a local transfer marks the sender side as trusted.

Change the argv handling to work with a newer popt library -- one that likes to \ 
free more data than it used to.

Rsync now calls OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() when compiled against an older \ 
openssl library.

Fixed a problem in the daemon auth for older protocols (29 and before) if the \ 
openssl library is being used to compute MD4 checksums.

Fixed rsync -VV on Cygwin -- it needed a flush of stdout.

Fixed an old stats bug that counted devices as symlinks.

ENHANCEMENTS:

Enhanced rrsync with the -no-overwrite option that allows you to ensure that \ 
existing files on your restricted but writable directory can't be modified.

Enhanced the manpages to mark links with .UR & .UE. If your nroff doesn't \ 
support these idioms, touch the file .md2man-force in the source directory so \ 
that md-convert gets called with the --force-link-text option, and that should \ 
ensure that your manpages are still readable even with the ignored markup.

Some manpage improvements on the handling of [global] modules.

Changed the mapfrom & mapto perl scripts (in the support dir) into a single \ 
python script named idmap. Converted a couple more perl scripts into python.

Changed the mnt-excl perl script (in the support dir) into a python script.

DEVELOPER RELATED:

Updated config.guess (timestamp 2023-01-01) and config.sub (timestamp 2023-01-21).
