Hi there, The version of gzip packaged with cygwin doesn't accept --rsyncable.
I grabbed the latest version of RR's old patch from http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/gzip.rsync.patch2 and hacked it until it applied cleanly with 'patch -p1 -l' in the source directory of gzip-1.3.12. If anyone is interested in applying it to the cygwin sources it's here: http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/gzip.rsyncable.patch If you'd like it cleaned up so patch doesn't need all those switches I'll be happy to do that. In view of the fundamental nature of gzip on most systems I'd strongly recommend checking my modifications (and the patch) very carefully if you intend to use it. -- 73, Ged. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
