Yes, it has the potential to trip up advanced users. I'm thinking about a short blurb that explains how to create exlude patterns that behave the same on both old and new versions (e.g. anchor all wildcard strings, make all '*'s "**"s if there is any "**" in the string, etc.). > I wish we had a better handle on the cygwin hang and craigb-perf but i > don't want to slow things down. It sounds like Cygwin might be fixing the cause of the hang on their end, so that's encouraging. I too would like to see the buffered output (craigb-perf patch) properly integrated, but have been wary of adding a new hang. We should probably apply it just after 2.6.0 and just work out any problems it might cause before the next release. > The one thing i really would have liked to have seen in a version bump > would have been changing the default remote shell to ssh instead of > rsh/remsh. I can see this being both a good thing (since I think it is a better default for new users) and a painful thing (for people who still use rsh). I'd be in favor of making this change, but I'm not sure if we should try to slip it into 2.6.0 or not; on the one hand it is a very simple change to make, but on the other it has a big impact on how rsync works. I suppose we should just leave it for later. I made one pass through the TODO and INSTALL files looking for outdated info. I'd appreciate some other eyes giving these a quick scan. ..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
