Applying the xattr and acl patch to 2.6.9, running ./prepare-source
and config with
./configure --enable-xattr-support
results in a version which fails to transfer with the error msg
'wrong write used in receiver' and complaints about protocol
mismatch. I see there's a patch for a similar problem when
SUPPORT_ACLS is defined; anybody done one for --xattrs?

Excellent, thanks.
One further followup on this - Apple's version of rsync -E has some
sort of bug which seems to cause *all* attributes to be updated every
time a sync is done, but only if both participants are intel-based
OSX systems (go figure). It works fine ppc<->ppc and ppc<->intel.
2.6.9 does not have this 'feature.'
Last night I ran some test syncs which updated about 11GB of a 90GB
file system where most of changes were data, some were data and
xattributes, and some were xattributes only. 2.6.9 worked fine with
the patch above.
Many thanks to all involved.
Steve
