NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.8:
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
--copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
- 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.
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.
