Package: rsync Version: 3.1.1-3+deb8u1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Could --times be enabled by default? An important optimization depends on it. Preserving modification times would be nice anyway. > -t, --times This tells rsync to transfer modification times along with the files and update them on the remote system. Note that if this option is not used, the optimization that excludes files that have not been modified cannot be effective; in other words, a missing -t or -a will cause the next transfer to behave as if it used -I, causing all files to be updated (though rsync's delta-transfer algorithm will make the update fairly efficient if the files haven't actually changed, you're much better off using -t) Gr, Olaf -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.10 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii base-files 8+deb8u10 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-2 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u10 ii libpopt0 1.16-10 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 rsync recommends no packages.
