Re: There is no man for rsync

At the time the configure & make would have just mentioned that it wasn't able to build the manpages, but the build would not have failed, making that issue easy to miss. (And the "./prepare-source fetchgen" command would not have worked since samba.org switched over to requiring ssl for the rsync daemon copy commands and the script wasn't fixed to handle that yet.) In the upcoming 3.2.0 release the man page source files have changed from .yo files to .md files, their build process only requires python3 and python3-commonmark (which Cygwin has), and the configure & make rules now fail if there are no man pages and no way to build them. This should hopefully mean that the issue won't recur should another git release be needed in the future. On the subject of the pending 3.2.0 release, it would be nice to get the xxHash library turned into normal & dev packages so that the Cygwin rsync can ship with xxhash checksum support. I've installed xxHash manually for testing and it's working fine (and I just got the project to fix a Cygwin install issue in the Makefile). For anyone wanting to test it manually, you can grab the latest git or zip file from github (https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash) and run "PREFIX=/usr make install". If nobody else gets around to it I'll see what I can do once I get done with the rsync release process. ..wayne.. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

There is no man for rsync
Hello, rsync maintainer! Package rsync 3.1.3+20200429+gitf7746d0-1 is offered by setup as best choice, but this package has no manual pages inside. Consider to rebuild rsync 3.1.3 package, please. (nothing urgent, 3.1.2-1 works fine for me) Thank you.
