NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
|
|
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.8:
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
|
|
sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's
|
|
value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info
|
|
intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any
|
|
dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
|
|
manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
|
|
of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
|
|
same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
|
|
potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
|
|
module's hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest
|
|
options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's
|
|
destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these
|
|
options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since
|
|
these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
|
|
incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
|
|
how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
|
|
directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
|
|
generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
|
|
also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
|
|
the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
|
|
process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
|
|
receiving files.)
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
|
|
or --size-only is specified.
|
|
|
|
- The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
|
|
chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps
|
|
from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone
|
|
over and over again).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option:
|
|
it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used
|
|
to successfully update a destination file.

ENHANCEMENTS:

- ...
|
|
|
|
DEVELOPER RELATED:
|
|
|
|
- The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
|
|
make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
|
|
|
|
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
|
|
|
|
- Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
|
|
consistent opening comments.
