This issue was fixed in Debian with the attached patch from upstream. SRU process prohibits version jumps so would reject directly updating the rsync package on Ubuntu 16.04 to 3.2.2-2.
However, if you can define a test case to reliably reproduce the bug, then it may be possible to get the specific patch accepted. Would you be willing to help draft a set of steps to reproduce the bug - preferably something that can be performed within a few minutes or an hour, as opposed to a few weeks (else it'll be too hard for folks to test)? You can see other steps required for filing an SRU at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Anything you can do towards making this bug report fulfill those requirements will make it more likely for this to get attention. One of the potential problems in this case is that the patch is rather large so may be harder to review. SRU's tend to go faster when the patch is just a few lines. ** Patch added: "speedup-xattrs.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+bug/1834994/+attachment/5274955/+files/speedup-xattrs.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834994 Title: rsync: --xattrs is extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+bug/1834994/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
