(LP: #11300367) - debian/rules: Add -Izlib to CPPFLAGS and change .configure to use -with-included-zlib=yes - debian/control: Remove Build-Depends zlib1g-dev My testing shows transfers with the -z option are working, but the real test will be when my backups run late tonight. ;) ** Patch added: "Use rsync's internal zlib" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+bug/1300367/+attachment/4240742/+files/rsync-trusty-zlib-internal.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to rsync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300367 Title: rsync 3.1.0 and 3.0.9 incompatibility To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rsync/+bug/1300367/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
