Check out rdiff-backup. I have been very, very impressed with how easy it is to use. It uses the same algorithm as rsync to create incremental diffs. http://www.stanford.edu/~bescoto/rdiff-backup/ (also packaged for Debian, in the 'rdiff-backup' package) -- To unsubscribe or change option

outstanding Debian rsync bugs with patches

2002-01-24 Thread Colin Walters
Hello, Rsync maintainers, could you evaluate the patches in Debian bugs #129135 and #124286? #129135 seems straightforward enough. They are accessible at: http://bugs.debian.org/129135 and http://bugs.debian.org/124286 Also, I haven't gotten an evaluation of my patch for #128632 (previously s

(patch) check for the return value of fork()

I noticed we're not checking for a failure to fork() in socket.c. This patch should address the problem. Index: socket.c === RCS file: /cvsroot/rsync/socket.c,v retrieving revision 1.54 diff -u -u -r1.54 socket.c --- socket.c

(patch) fix for spinning child processes in daemon mode

2002-01-11 Thread Colin Walters
Hello, The attached patch should fix Debian bug #128632 (http://bugs.debian.org/128632). This bug happened because if an error occurred in writefd_unbuffered (such as the remote end closing the socket), it would call rprintf, which would call io_multiplexing_write, which would in turn call write

(patch) memory leak in loadparm.c

2001-12-28 Thread Colin Walters
Hi, I spent a little bit of time trying to debug a segfault in rsync 2.5.0, and after discovering it was in loadparm.c, I noticed that the bug had been worked around in the current CVS by removing a free() statement. That fix seems less than optimal; here's a patch which should fix the memory lea
