The rsync.spec file within the rsync tar package is still broken, so here's a working rsync.spec file.
Simply (as root) copy rsync-2.5.4.tar.gz into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES then run "rpm -ba rsync.spec" to produce rsync-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager Trimble Navigation Ltd. Phone: +64 3 9635 377 Fax: +64 3 9635 417
Summary: Program for efficient remote updates of files. Name: rsync Version: 2.5.4 Release: 1 Copyright: GPL Group: Applications/Networking Source: ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync/rsync-%{version}.tar.gz URL: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ Packager: Andrew Tridgell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BuildRoot: /tmp/rsync %description rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with this package. %changelog * Mon Sep 11 2000 John H Terpstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changed target paths to be Linux Standards Base compliant * Mon Jan 25 1999 Stefan Hornburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> quoted RPM_OPT_FLAGS for the sake of robustness * Mon May 18 1998 Andrew Tridgell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> reworked for auto-building when I release rsync ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * Sat May 16 1998 John H Terpstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Upgraded to Rsync 2.0.6 -new feature anonymous rsync * Mon Apr 6 1998 Douglas N. Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Upgrade to rsync version 1.7.2. * Sun Mar 1 1998 Douglas N. Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Built 1.6.9-1 based on the 1.6.3-2 spec file of John A. Martin. Changes from 1.6.3-2 packaging: added latex and dvips commands to create tech_report.ps. * Mon Aug 25 1997 John A. Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Built 1.6.3-2 after finding no rsync-1.6.3-1.src.rpm although there was an ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/alpha/rsync-1.6.3-1.alpha.rpm showing no packager nor signature but giving "Source RPM: rsync-1.6.3-1.src.rpm". Changes from 1.6.2-1 packaging: added '$RPM_OPT_FLAGS' to make, strip to '%build', removed '%prefix'. * Thu Apr 10 1997 Michael De La Rue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> rsync-1.6.2-1 packaged.
