[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rsync-3.0.9-1

[Lapo Luchini]

Version 3.0.9-1 of rsync has been uploaded.

rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which
provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does
this by sending just the differences in the files across the link,
without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends
of the link beforehand.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c rsync

Jari, you announced 3.0.9-1 which was the version already available,
but you uploaded 3.1.0-1. I assume a copy-paste error.

Did you know that 3.1.0 has performance issues on cygwin? See almost
at the bottom of the "BUG FIXED" at
http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src-previews/rsync-3.1.1pre2-NEWS

I tried to build rsync a while ago myself using cygport (I even
considered to ITA when 3.1.1 would be final). But when I ran "cygport
test" 6 test (batch-mode, chmod-option, exclude, hands, itemize and
symlink-ignore) fail with timeouts.

The 3.1.1pre1 fixes these issues. All the test that fail with 3.1.0
pass with 3.1.1pre1. I haven't tried to test your version.

And why is http://freecode.com/projects/rsync mentioned as homepage
and not http://rsync.samba.org/?

Regards,
Frank

Since the new release doesn't provide a rsync-debuginfo package, there
should be setup.hint file that makes the old debuginfo package the previous
version.

Achim.

I guess Jari just forgot to upload the debuginfo packages.  They are
auto-generated by cygport anyway.  Jari?

I don't believe that Jari uses cygport.

Too bad.  The debuginfo packages are very helpful.

Jari, any chance to switch to cygport?  A unified build method for all
Cygwin packages would be very nice.

Jari,

Any news on the stability-issues in rsync 3.1.0?
3.1.1 has been released a week ago. 3.1.1 passes all the test.

If you are interested, this is my cygport-file:
https://github.com/ffes/cygwin-pkgs/blob/master/rsync/rsync.cygport

Regards,
Frank

Yes, that is what I was referring to.

All I did was: grabbed the 3.0.9 source package from the cygwin
mirror. Build it and ran "cygport test" and all test succeeded (some
were skipped). After that I updated that cygport file, downloaded and
build 3.1.0 and ran "cygport test". Some test failed. With 3.1.1pre1,
pre2 and 3.1.1 release it worked again.

So for me there was a cygwin related bug in 3.1.0 and was fixed in
3.1.1, just like it says in NEWS.

I don't know. Just used the vanilla build options. So apparently the
developers of rsync disabled xattr on cygwin.

Frank
