Ah yes -- how silly of me. Yes, that will prevent my patch from working right. I was fooled into thinking I had fixed something when I kluged up a test using sleep calls to simulate a slow connection -- this must have fortuitously caused the last_io value to age and allow the keep- alive messages to happen (because I verified that the messages were sent and received, and they did actually fix a timeout in that kluged test- case). CVS now has an updated keepalive.diff in the patches dir that keeps a separate time for the sending and receiving of data (timeouts are based on a lack of received data, and keep-alives on a lack of sent data). This should hopefully make things work for you: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/patches/keepalive.diff It did fix a timeout in a (different) test case I tried out. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
