I'm backing out the xattr optimization that was put in to try
to make xattr data sending more optimal on hard-linked files.
The code was causing hard-to-reproduce bugs, and it's better to
get things done fully & correctly over fully optimally.
The make_path() utility function was not returning the right status
when --dry-run was used, so I added some stat() checking that only
happens for -n. I also noticed that the function was not handling
the case where the whole path needed to be created, so I fixed that.
Fixes bug 10209.
If the client is the sender and it is wanting to log deletes, the
current generator code neglects to send MSG_DELETED to the client side
unless some delete verbosity is enabled. With this new version on the
generator side, the logfile will now mention deletes, even if the
sending (client) side is an older rsync. Fixes bug 10182.
When running with --*-dest & -X, some alt-dest-found files would not
use the right name when looking up old attrs in itemize(), causing a
weird error for a --dry-run copy. Fixes bug 10238.
This fix avoids the sending of keep-alive messages from the receiver
to the sender when we are still sending the file list (at which time
an older rsync would die if it received such a keep-alive message).
The messages aren't actually needed, since we haven't forked yet, and
the single flow of data keeps the procs alive.
Fix a problem where sparse_seek could get left non-zero when we
did not finish writing all the data that would take us to that
sparse gap. Issue pointed out by David Taylor.
When checking a checksum that refers to a part of an --inplace file that
has been overwritten w/o getting SUMFLG_SAME_OFFSET set, we remove the
checksum from the list. This will speed up files that have a lot of
identical checksum blocks (e.g. sequences of zeros) that we can't use
due to them not getting marked as being the same. Patch provided by
Michael Chapman.
Added the client rsync-ssl script and various client/daemon support
files needed for talking to an rsync daemon over SSL on port 874 (no
tls support). This uses an elegant stunnel setup that was detailed
by dozzie (see the resources page) now that stunnel4 has improved
command-spawning support. Also incorporates some tweaks by devzero
(e.g. the nice no-tmpfile-config client-side code) and a few by me
(including logging of the actual remote IP that came in to the
stunnel process). This probably still needs a little work.
