(*sigh* -- I hope this is the right list...) Lapo,
Thank you for providing rsync as a Cygwin package. I was just about to write to the rsync maintainers and complain about this web page <http://rsync.samba.org/rsync/nt.html>. It was just cited in the rsync mailing list yesterday as a guide for using rsync on Windows. That page is rather old (Oct 1999) and gives advice that contradicts the "Cygwin way". It recommends putting cygwin1.dll in C:\WINNT\System32, for example. (The good news is, the ftp link doesn't work. It probably would have contained on old cygwin1.dll without source! :-) On the other hand, that page does give some helpful advice about running rsync in daemon mode. There is nothing comparable in /usr/doc/Cygwin/rsync-2.4.6.README. Would you consider expanding your README file to provide this information? Then we could tell the rsync maintainers to get rid of that web page altogether. (Or better, replace it with a pointer to Cygwin.) I don't like to put information like this in the FAQ. Thanks again for maintaining rsync. I use it myself. (Though not in daemon mode, otherwise I would volunteer to write those instructions myself.) Cheers, David
