Summary: Use lchmod and lutimes whenever possible
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Currently, on systems that support lchmod and lutimes, rsync uses them only
when it needs to manipulate a symlink. I think it should use them everywhere
in place of chmod and utimes to avoid surprises or vulnerabilities should a
destination file of another type be suddenly replaced by a symlink.
