NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
|
|
Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.2:
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
|
|
multiple source directories were specified.
|
|
|
|
- The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
|
|
over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
|
|
the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be
|
|
terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
|
|
|
|
- If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
|
|
no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
|
|
specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
|
|
work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
|
|
don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
|
|
|
|
- If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
|
|
is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
|
|
original file in the process).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
|
|
(rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
|
|
|
|
- Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
|
|
items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
|
|
allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
|
|
|
|
- Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
|
|
phase.
|
|
|
|
- When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
|
|
the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
|
|
|
|
- When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
|
|
for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
|
|
"vanished".
|
|
|
|
- Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
|
|
refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
|
|
to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
|
|
the message).
|
|
|
|
- Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to
|
|
the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to
|
|
be daemon-only).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
|
|
batch-processing options.
|
|
|
|
- We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
|
|
implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
|
|
that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
|
|
implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
|
|
suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
|
|
help).
|
|
|
|
ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
|
|
onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
|
|
as matching a normal directory from the sender.
|
|
|
|
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
|
|
|
|
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
|
|
and documented all these options in the man page.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
|
|
bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
- The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
|
|
SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
|
|
|
|
- Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
|
|
|
|
INTERNAL:
|
|
|
|
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
|
|
and made the code easier to maintain.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the argv-overflow checking for a remote command that has
|
|
a lot of args.
|
|
|
|
- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
|
|
rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
|
|
|
|
- If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
|
|
IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
|
|
handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
|
|
them).
|
|
|
|
BUILD CHANGES:
|
|
|
|
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
|
|
including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
|
|
|
|
- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
|
|
proto.h file is left untouched (its time-stamp used to always be
|
|
updated).
|
|
|
|
- The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
|
|
target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
|
|
have $STRIP set in the environment.
|
|
|
|
DEVELOPER RELATED:
|
|
|
|
- The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
|
|
|
|
- Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
|
|
ones were removed.
