Awesome work Wayne. I have been following the various threads about
running rsync 3.0.0 on MacOS X 10.4.11 and wanted to confirm that
following all the various bits of advice yields a clean running rsync
(as tested by backup bouncer).
I am running MacOS X 10.4.11 on PPC. The following is a synopsis of
my installation procedure (as gathered from the various emails in the
archive) - note that I had trouble with crtimes.diff and went back to
osx-create-time.diff. Please let me know if I have included anything
spurious or missed something critical (though I am pleased that
everything worked)...
I downloaded the source (3.0.0 release) and the patches (as posted on
the front page as of this morning). I then added the patch Wayne
provided called fileflags-fixes.diff (not in the folder when I
downloaded it anyway)
patch -p1 < patches/osx-create-time.diff
patch -p1 < patches/fileflags.diff
patch -p1 < patches/fileflags-fixes.diff
./prepare-source (spurious? it did not seem to do anything...)
patch -p1 < patches/backup-dir-dels.diff
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
I then used backup bouncer to test the installation:
cd into backup bouncer folder
./bbouncer create-vol Src
./bbouncer create-vol Dst
./bbouncer create /Volumes/Src
sudo rsync -aHAX --force-change /Volumes/Dst/ /Volumes/Src/
Finally, I ran the tests
./bbouncer verify -d /Volumes/Src /Volumes/Dst

-----
Everything looks great. Thanks to Wayne and all those who have tested
and refined this. I confess I am one of the myriad freeloaders who
have been sitting back waiting for all of you to do the heavy
lifting. I am a frequent beta tester on many open source projects,
but I just don't have the guts to participate in such testing on a
backup utility/app. So, I am thrilled to have a fully functional,
modern, backup app for my Mac without having gone through the
heartaches inherent in participating in the testing.
Cheers,
Rob
