NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (28 Jul 2005)
|
|
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.5:
|
|
|
|
SECURITY FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- The zlib code was upgraded to version 1.2.3 in order to make it more
|
|
secure. While the widely-publicized security problem in zlib 1.2.2 did
|
|
not affect rsync, another security problem surfaced that affects rsync's
|
|
zlib 1.1.4.
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
|
|
This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
|
|
(e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
|
|
combined with --link-dest).
|
|
|
|
- The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
|
|
without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
|
|
it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
|
|
file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
|
|
a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
|
|
totally unchanged items).
|
|
|
|
- When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
|
|
item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
|
|
|
|
- A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
|
|
time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug where the 'p' (permissions) itemized-changes flag might get
|
|
set too often (if some non-significant mode bits differed).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
|
|
unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
|
|
directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
|
|
ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
|
|
destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
|
|
|
|
ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
|
|
per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
|
|
|
|
- The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
|
|
that take args (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
|
|
also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
|
|
of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a
|
|
normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer.
|
|
|
|
- Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or
|
|
improved.
|
|
|
|
BUILD CHANGES:
|
|
|
|
- Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
|
|
NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
|
|
find in the /etc/group file).
|
|
|
|
- Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
|
|
-i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
