Hello,

As soon as I find a little time I will try to manually apply Apple's extended attributes patches (that apply to the 2.6.3 version) to the trunk rsync 3. I say manually as I already noticed some differences that would make a patch impossible. There is a clash with the -E option and a redundancy with the "-A, -- acls" and "-X, --xattrs" options, so I think I will disable these last two and use -X option for the Apple extended attributes. ACL support for MacOSX is not yet in place in rsync3, but I see that extended attributes have specific code (when HAVE_OSX_XATTRS is 1). However the Apple patch, and presumably the way acls are implemented, does not allow for the factorisation of the two, so I wonder how you did implement extended attributes and will avoid clashes by disabling both in the original (trunk) code.

If you have any observations please do!

Thanks

Giuliano
