Hi. Several months ago, I posted my first pass at a patch to transfer Mac OS X HFS+ metadata (resource forks and Finder metadata) to non-HFS+ filesystems (Linux, Solaris, etc).
I finally got a chance to update the patch to reflect suggestions offered on the list. Thanks for the ideas, this version should be a big improvement. The diff and a binary (and a fuller explanation) can be found at: http://www.quesera.com/~reynhout/misc/rsync-hfsmode-patch The current patch is against rsync-2.6.2. It still works with the standard build of rsync on the receiving side, so only the sender needs to be patched. For a single HFS+ file, there will be between one and three files transferred to the destination filesystem: - <filename>: The regular file (data fork) - ._<filename>: The resource fork of <filename>, iff non-empty. - ._<filename>_metadata: Type and Creator and Finder flags for <filename>, iff non-null. Any suggestions on a naming scheme for the metadata file that would minimize the risk of collisions? Any feedback would be appreciated.
