For 5.0 I'm not sure, for 7.1 it certainly is applicable. In any case, I
only have a RH 8.0 system ad hand, so... In any case, the lsb .spec file
should be quite portable after my patch, so you could just delete the
others. Or you would have to add directories for the several RH releases in
between/after (* shudder *).
A full patch (all three files, lsb again as before) follows. Or keep the
other patch and "rm -rf packaging/redhat", expecting people running into
trouble to fix the spec file by themselves. I added a note for them to
INSTALL. Perhaps you should contact the Debianites to contribute their
configuration scripts too?

case problems with dos/windows based systems.
I have asked this before once. I am getting duplicate file names generated quite regularly when I am using samba file shares (samba seems to generate either upper or lower 8.3 case names, and also allows both to exist). Basically, the name of a file should match the name of a file at the other end if they are 8.3 format and are the same when ignoring case. Long file name behaviour should be preserved as is. Is there a patch for rsync which allows for case to be ignored for 8.3 names? The only way other way I can sort this out is to run a program to clean up the 8.3 file names before trying out the rsync (i.e. convert any 8.3 names to upper or lower case). Peter -- Peter R.

RE: proposal to fork the list (users/developers)
I tend to be someone who automatically looks for trends, and the nice thing about having just one list is that it lets me know where people are having problems. Judging by the number of questions we get, one of the biggest challenges for inexperienced rsync users is knowing why a particular file is included or excluded. Way in the back of my mind I see a need for an option that, for every file included or excluded, says which rule was used to make the decision. Nice and simple. I think if the product is easy enough to use and the documentation is good enough, then one list should be fine, because the volume should be low. Getting lots of repetitions of similar questions is an indication that there are usability issues with the product. In fact, if someone has some time on their hands, it would be a fun project to pour over a year's worth of email and do a Pareto chart on the questions we've gotten. (A good undergraduate research paper topic, perhaps?) Right away such a chart would suggest development activities we could implement to improve the usability. So I'm neutral/mildly-opposed to splitting. But if we do split, don't call it "rsync-technical". Call it "rsync-devel" or similar. I think one of the reasons samba gets non-development email on samba-technical is that the name doens't give a clue as to what the list is about.

reconnect ssh connection?
has someone come up with a trick to let disconnected ssh connections be recovered without terminating and having to restart rsync (perhaps by wrapping ssh or something)? i have a very large (but pretty stable/unchanging) tree of files that i need to sync daily, at night, between two geographically different servers. i'm using rsync -avz --force -e ssh SOURCE DEST. the connection is pretty slow and quite unreliable and many times the rsync process is terminated in the middle because of disconnected tcp connection. restarting rsync would begin the process of building the filelist which is pretty slow. -- dave -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Maybe my google skills are lacking, but I couldn't find anything. Both Xvnc and screen support reconnecting interactive sessions, so there's no reason we couldn't do the same sort of thing for ssh. It's a bit more complicated because we need to save the state at both ends. We also need some different options, how often to try to reconnect, when to just give up, what ways to try to connect, etc... Performance isn't much of an issue, since we'd only need it for unreliable networks, and those are usually the slow ones. Would rsync do anything odd if a network write took 4 hours? The wrapper around ssh would prevent rsync from seeing any errors, but it wouldn't hide the timing. Are there any timeouts in rsync? Assuming it hasn't already been done, my thought would be to see how screen works and model the remote end on it. The local side would be a mirror of the remote end with the addition of some code to (re)start and end sessions. If I wrote it, the wrapper would be GPL'd, so I can freely borrow code from screen. -- Paulh -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

It doesn't really matter as far as rsync is concerned. The system load, if that is an issue, is on the sender regardless of the client-server relationship. What you have to decide is whether to manage three rsync daemons and one initiator (cron probably) or three initiators and one rsyncd. Perhaps more of an issue is the metadata if any. When i designed dirvish i decided to pull, rather than push, because the backup metadata would only be on the backup server so it was simpler to have the backup server initiate the backups as an rsync client. If you have no metadata then i can't think of any overriding reason to pull. -- J.W.

Ooh, interesting idea... You might do it with some kind of wrapper at both ends...
