Re: chmod patch

2002-04-04 Thread Martin Pool
I think --chmod can sensibly always be done locally, which will work better when talking to old servers: If sending files, modify the mode before transmission. If receiving files, modify the mode on receipt. Possibly the complexity of doing this twice in the code is not justified, but I thi

It's much easier than that. The linux box keeps time in GMT, and displays it in the configured time zone. Try this, on the linux box: "touch testfile ls -l testfile TZ=EST5 export TZ ls -l testfile" You will see the displayed time change, because it's being translated from epoch time (that's w

little patch with zero priority

2002-04-04 Thread Lapo Luchini
Hi, I have a little request, which should be considered "very very very very low priority" but would be useful nonetheless... in Makefile.in there are two lines with additional space at end of line and my editor strip it, so I must hand-edit the cygwin-specific patch in order to create the package

Re: metadata in dryrun mode

2002-04-04 Thread Mark Santcroos
Related to this: (but NOT in dryrun mode!) If verbose(>0) rsync reports the filename that is transfered. Is it intentional that rsync doesn't report the filename when the metadata is changed? How about reporting something like: dir/filename: permissions changed dir/filename: owner changed dir

>Hi, I am using rsync to back up some files from a WinXP laptop to a Linux server. The two machines are in different time zones (8 hour separation). It seems that rsync wants to do a full checksum on every file because it thinks their time stamps are different. Example: GMT is 9am

[patch] Basic HTTP Proxy Authentication

Hi all, I have put together a patch for supporting "Basic" HTTP Proxy Authentication. The patch changes the interpretation of the RSYNC_PROXY environment variable so that the syntax user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port may be used instead of just proxy.foo:port (the old syntax is of course still
