With the patched UTF8 cygwin ( http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the pointer. Just a few questions from me (I have no
windows computer at the moment to try it out):
- why doesn't the utf8 patch make into official cygwin? (that would
be best)
Because it was a hack and not guaranteed to be stable. This is however
included in cygwin 1.7 that is on the final steps before official
release AFAIK. This release should be available soon. Then, or you
wait for cwrsync developer to make an upgrade with the newer cygwin or
you can compile rsync on cygwin by yourself (more work but less
waiting time).
- it would make sense/be nice if cwrsync would include that utf-8-
cygwin library
Yes, see reply above.
- I had quite some problem at the beginning because we run debian
stable on server that includes rsync 2.something, and I would not dare
messing around with the server; when we wanted to use iconv, the
transfer failed since rsync 2.something doesn't support it; Am I right
that this would also fail unless we upgrade the server?
You won't have debian stable package for rsync 3.x for a while as they
policy make the test time really long. However, nothing forbids you to
get the "unstable" package (unstable for debian, already stable
release version for rsync developers) for rsync only or to compile
rsync 3.x from sources. If this is what you need and you trust rsync
development, there should have no surprises.
(PS: we would need to upgrade the server anyway; svn doesn't work any
more either.)
Thanks a lot,
Mojca
