That's a good idea, but keep in mind that the patch would involve more than just tweaking PROTOCOL_VERSION from 27 to a 26 in rsync.h. The code assumes that it can handle P.V. 27, so if the remote side says that it supports P.V. 27, the local side would interact using the new csum code, even if it told the remote side that it was only P.V. 26 (which would totally confuse the remote side). Thus, all the "remote_version" checks for 27 would have to be disabled as well in such a downgraded version of rsync. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
