rsync 2.5.5 "Snowy River" (2 April 2002)
ENHANCEMENTS:
* With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
* Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
(Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
* If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of
a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.
(Martin Pool)
BUG FIXES:
* Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
* Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
* Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
Pool.)
* Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
* Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
trailing slashes.
