Please keep this on the rsync list. On Thu, 2008-01-24 at 18:32 +0100, Rudolf E.

Or is this feature built in Rsync 3.0.0pre8?
Support for encodings such as utf8mac is determined by the Mac's libiconv, not by rsync. You need to install a libiconv that supports the utf8mac encoding (check that utf8mac is listed when you run "iconv --list") and then build rsync against that libiconv. It looks like your best bet is the MacPorts libiconv described here: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/libiconv/Portfile In fact, rsync 3.0.0pre8 itself appears to be available through MacPorts: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/net/rsync-devel/Portfile Matt > Am 24.01.2008 um 16:11 schrieb Matt McCutchen: > > > I see now that *Apple's* iconv does have the necessary "utf8mac" > > encoding.
