- Make the rsync-ssl default behavior more user friendly.
- Install rsync-ssl & rsync-ssl-rsh in the regular install rules.
- Add a manpage for rsync-ssl (which is also installed).
- Get rid of the rsync-ssl-client package in our spec file.
The new rsh-ssl-rsync helper script (replacing stunnel-rsync) supports
openssl in addition to stunnel. The RSYNC_SSL_TYPE environment variable
can be set to specify which type of connection to use, and the first arg
to rsync-ssl can be --type=stunnel or --type=openssl to override the env
var or the default of "stunnel". The helper script now looks for
stunnel4 or stunnel on the PATH at runtime instead of having configure
look for it at compile time.
I replaced git-set-file-times with an improved version that I wrote
recently (in python3). A new script uses it to figure out the
last-modified year for each *.[ch] file and updates its copyright.
It also puts the latest year into the latest-year.h file for the
output of --version.
The default value of the skip-compress list actually comes from the
daemon's default lp_dont_compress() value, but a while back the vars
stopped getting default values in a non-daemon run. I added a call to
reset_daemon_vars() so that the "Vars" values get set from "Defaults".
Add a flag for calling get_dirlist() and for send_directory() that
indicates that the dirname is allowed to not be a directory. Based
on a patch by Ben Rubson. Fixes bug #13445.
On BSD-ish systems you can type Ctrl+T to see the current file and
the progress output (in --info=progress2 format). On hosts w/o
SIGINFO, use something like "killall -VTALRM rsync" or a more
targetted "kill -VTALRM PID ..." call (as needed).
This is a fleshed out version of the old one in the patches repo with
documentation & proper handling of the implied --inplace option for a
daemon's option-rufusing considerations. I ommitted the -w short option
as I would hate for someone to turn this on accidentally.
This can be used by a root-run rsync to try to make reading or writing
files safer in a situation where you can't run the whole rsync command
as a non-root user.
If the alternate-destination code was scanning multiple alt dirs and it
found the right size/mtime/checksum info but not the right xattrs, it
would keep scanning the other dirs for a better xattr match, but it
would omit the unchanged-file check that needs to happen first.
