That version has been merged into Ubuntu so it is fixed here now as well. ** Changed in: gzip (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021975 Title: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1021975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Debian also had this bug, it was fixed, hopefully should be also fixed in Ubuntu.

[Bug 1021975] Re: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable
This is an issue for me. Does this only affect 12.04? Would upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 fix it? If not, or also, would someone be able to explain how to downgrade gzip to a working version, like I'm 5 years old? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021975 Title: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1021975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

for those struggling with this I solved it by downgrading and holding 1.3.12 on my Ubuntu 12.04 precise server box (similar to what the original poster suggested, but using binary packages): wget 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gzip/gzip_1.3.12-3.2ubuntu0.1_i386.deb' dpkg -i gzip_1.3.12-3.2ubuntu0.1_i386.deb echo gzip hold | dpkg --set-selections -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021975 Title: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1021975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1021975] Re: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable
found the sources of later versions: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/ looks like those do not contain the rsyncable feature (ie it was never officially integrated upstream) so it seems like ubuntu and debian add this patch: http://www.samba.org/netfilter/diary/gzip.rsync.patch and it was forgotten when building gzip-1.4? In fact this bug (which is about the man page) seems to confirm that rsyncable was never merged in gzip sources: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637626 > Upstream has never merged the --rsyncable patch, I continue to have to > carry it around in the Debian source package. not sure if debian 1.4 has the same issue (no debian box to test) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #637626 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637626 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021975 Title: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1021975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1021975] Re: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable
This is an unfortunate regression from 1.3.12 to 1.4. It meant that my db backups filled my disk and failed (because I was using rdiff-backup for historic copies and that uses librsync which meant the diffs were now huge, because the gzip was not rysncable) Even more unfortunate is that, while the 1.4 gzip man page, correctly, does not mention --rysncable, the program does not throw an "unknown option" error, and silently produces the same non-rsyncable archive as it does without the option. It is also unlclear to me where the source for either package is coming? >From the gzip home page talks about 1.2.4 being the latest version: http://www.gzip.org/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021975 Title: gzip --rsyncable not rsyncable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/1021975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
