NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED)
|
|
Protocol: 29 (changed)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.3:
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT CHANGES:
|
|
|
|
- When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
|
|
it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
|
|
sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
|
|
was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
|
|
file).
|
|
|
|
- Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
|
|
that already exists in the --backup-dir.
|
|
|
|
- An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
|
|
setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
|
|
mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
|
|
the sender, and the file-list is large.
|
|
|
|
- We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
|
|
FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
|
|
necessary.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
|
|
|
|
- One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
|
|
|
|
- The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
|
|
that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
|
|
|
|
- If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
|
|
referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
|
|
user and group of a symlink.
|
|
|
|
- The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time
|
|
rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete.
|
|
|
|
- When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to
|
|
backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative.
|
|
|
|
ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
|
|
use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
|
|
|
|
- Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
|
|
that it includes copies of identical files.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
|
|
--link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
|
|
patches dir and enhanced.)
|
|
|
|
- Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
|
|
|
|
- The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
|
|
so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to
|
|
start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
|
|
cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
|
|
|
|
- The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
|
|
to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
|
|
that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
|
|
the patches dir.)
|
|
|
|
- In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
|
|
file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
|
|
partial file.
|
|
|
|
- The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
|
|
--link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
|
|
|
|
- Added the --dirs option for an easier way to copy directories
|
|
without recursion.
|
|
|
|
- Added the --list-only option which is mainly a way for the client to
|
|
put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any
|
|
option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*" for a
|
|
non-recursive listing).
|
|
|
|
- Added the --omit-dir-times option which will avoid updating the
|
|
modified time for directories when --times was specified. For a
|
|
really large transfer, this option will avoid an extra pass through
|
|
the file-list at the end of the transfer to tweak all the directory
|
|
times.
|
|
|
|
- Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
|
|
files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
|
|
once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
|
|
--link-dest.
|
|
|
|
INTERNAL:
|
|
|
|
- Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over
|
|
the socket.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size.
|
|
|
|
BUILD CHANGES:
|
|
|
|
- Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
