Hey, I'm currently adding rsync to pacman (http://archlinux.org/pacman). A static version of the program is used for rescue operations. Because of this it is impossible to use the rsync client programm via an execve call and we need a version implemented in C.
So I started implementing it. But the rsync source isn't beautiful or structured - it's just a big hunk of code. I spent nearly 4 hours in reading it. Ok, first you transmit your version, e.g. "@RSYNCD: 29"; then you select the module, e.g. "ftp", or list the modules via "#list". But how to select the directory in the module? And how to download a file/produce the xdelta. Is there maybe a paper or something similar describing this protocol? My other Problem is librsync -- the header file is unreadable. Is there maybe a doucmentation about this? Thanks for any help Matthias-Christian Ott __________________________________________________________________ Der Tiscali DVD-Verleih: Viele Heimkino-Highlights bequem frei Haus.
