Reading other comments, I perceive that there is confusion about the compatibility between 2.6 and 3.0.x.
It is simply not true that *in all cases* 2.6 can talk with 3.0.x. Whether or not a 2.6 can talk to a 3.0.x depends on the the *actual arguments* passed to the client. In my earlier report you can see that the 2.6 and 3.0.3 cannot talk together because the parameter "--acls" was used. If "--acls" had not been used, they would probably have talked together fine. 3.0.x degrades its protocol only as much as it possibly can while at the same time still provide the features new to the 3.0.x series. The only way to have full compatibility *in all cases* is to have the same version (or maybe different version of the same series is enough) on both the client and the server. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
