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
