I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected.
Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it is accessible. It would be great if rsync between two Mac OS X machines could sync this information as well as the usual Unix file contents and unix metadata. I plan to take a look at the source, but I don't have high hopes of being able to create a robust patch. Hopefully this will be easy for someone who knows Mac OS X. -- Kevin Crowston Syracuse University Phone: +1 (315) 443-1676 School of Information Studies Fax: +1 (315) 443-5806 4-206 Centre for Science and Technology EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Syracuse, NY 13244-4100 USA Web: http://crowston.syr.edu/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
