NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
|
|
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.6:
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
|
|
|
|
- If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
|
|
permissions without recreating the file.
|
|
|
|
- If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
|
|
we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
|
|
hostspec as a filename.
|
|
|
|
- When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
|
|
permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
|
|
the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
|
|
|
|
- Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
|
|
algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
|
|
fails.
|
|
|
|
- Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
|
|
|
|
- If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to
|
|
require at least -vv for the error to be seen).
|
|
|
|
- If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
|
|
the exit status properly and generate a better error.
|
|
|
|
ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
|
|
that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
|
|
files).
|
|
|
|
- Added the --min-size=SIZE option.
|
|
|
|
- Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size.
|
|
|
|
- If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
|
|
preservation of attributes on symlinks.
|
|
|
|
- Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
|
|
and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
|
|
per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
|
|
transfer.
|
|
|
|
- When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
|
|
the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
|
|
should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
|
|
rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
|
|
replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
|
|
dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
|
|
|
|
- Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
|
|
unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
|
|
"--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
|
|
file ownership that is implied by -a.
|
|
|
|
- Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
|
|
which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
|
|
|
|
- If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
|
|
now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
|
|
|
|
- Some minor documentation improvements.
|
|
|
|
- Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
|
|
|
|
INTERNAL:
|
|
|
|
- Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
|
|
MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
|
|
|
|
- If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
|
|
with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
|
|
|
|
- If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining
|
|
the VA_COPY macro.
|
|
|
|
DEVELOPER RELATED:
|
|
|
|
- Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
|
|
configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
|
|
the newly patched feature.
