Package: dupload Version: 2.8.4 Severity: normal dupload 2.8.4 and 2.9.0 currently use the following rsync options:
rsync --partial -zave ssh $options -x -a implies quite a lot: -r: recursive; not wanted -l: copy-symlinks-as-symlinks; not wanted, opposite is needed -p: copy permissions; not wanted, overriden by chmod -t: times; wanted -g, -o, -D: keep group, owner, devices/special files; not wanted Please replace `-a` by just `-t` or `--times`, and add `-L` or `--copy-links` to not upload symlinks, but the file they refer to. The `ssh ... chmod` call (if $wrong_mode is set) can also be replaced by rsync's `--chmod=F644` or `--chmod=ugo=rwX` options. Please also include an option to *not* affect permissions and just use the default permissions. I would like this to support uploading via rsync-over-ssh for the security archive (to ssh.security.upload.debian.org). We do not want uploads to be readable by anyone. The upload directory has a default ACL to set the right permissions, however `rsync -p` or `chmod` override it. Ansgar
