Files-from data is now sent as multiplexed I/O so that it can mingle
with any messages (such as debug output). Requires protocol 31.
Protocol 31 no longer disables output verbosity in a couple instances
that used to cause protocol issues.
Got rid of MSG_* messages that have implied raw data that follows after
them. We instead send a negative index value as a part of the raw data
stream, which is guaranteed to be output together with the following
data. This only affects the (in-progress) protocol 31 and the (self-
contained) communication stream from the receiver to the generator.
Added --debug=IO and improved --debug=FLIST. Some --debug=IO output
requires --msgs2stderr to be used to see it (i.e. sending a message
about sending a message would send another message, ad infinitum).
If a symlink, device, special-file, or hard-linked file is replacing
an existing non-directory, the new file is created using a temporary
filename and then renamed into place. Also changed the handling of
a cluster of hard-linked symlinks/devices/special-files to always
ensure the first item in the cluster is correct, since it doesn't
really save any significant work to try to find an existing correct
item later in the cluster to link with.
- Backups do not interfere with an atomic update (when possible).
- Backing up a file will remove a directory that is in the way
and visa versa.
- Unify the backup-dir and non-backup-dir code in backup.c.
- Improved the backup tests a little bit.
- Made the XSTATE_* defines avoid using 0.
- Call !XATTR_ABBREV() in recv_xattr_request().
- Improved the "internal abbrev" error message.
- Fixed the potential for a directory time glitch in xattrs.diff.
the testsuite. Improved the home-directory-changing code and added an
error message when "localhost" is not the hostname specified. Use the
updated script in the testsuite instead of creating a pretend-ssh script
in a couple spots.
The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to
--ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a
--dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory
while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated
using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination
with transient increments in dry_run; this caused at least three bugs.
Now recv_generator has separate variables for the two scenarios, called
skip_dir and dry_missing_dir, respectively. For simplicity, we take the
F_DEPTH instead of having separate *_below variables. We mark both
kinds of missing dirs with FLAG_MISSING_DIR. (dry_run > 1) iff the
*root* of the destination does not exist; it is no longer incremented
for missing subdirs. I added tests for the three fixed bugs in
missing.test.
- If a symlink/device/special-file changes its value without any
attribute changes, the itemized event no longer gets dropped.
- We put a 'c' into the checksum/change field now to indicate when
a symlink/device/special-file changes its value without changing
its type. This lets us properly interpret the --copy-links output
to know which items are getting copied without changes and which
are getting created with new content.
- Fixed the 'T' itemized output for a symlink when rsync tries to
set the right time but fails due to lack of OS/disk support.
Fixed the munging of non-user namespace xattrs w/--fake-super.
Fixed the sorting of received xattrs when name-munging occurs.
Added xattr tests to verify that these things stay fixed.
of running its own test using ln.
- Made the merge test call checkit with absolute paths so that some
folk's cd command won't foul things up with extra output.
tell the client if the server can set the times on a symlink (both
the server->client byte and the client->server use of -e). Make use
of this info to allow the proper output of the 't' flag when rsync
can set the time on a symlink (and we're talking protocol >= 30).
Added output of "[no] symtimes" info in the --version message.
Fixed the itemize.test so that it works when rsync believes that it
can set the time of a symlink, but it can't really do it.
