[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.3.0 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

I have released rsync version 3.3.0. This is a bug fix release, with the
increased version bump being a delayed reaction to some of the recent
larger changes that have happened.

various life events have been monopolizing my time, I reached out to Tridge

work, along with Paul Mackerras, who was also an early contributor to
rsync. This new team will be working mainly on maintenance tasks, and not
so much on new features. If you want to get involved, feel free to reach

I'm not convinced these are needed at present.

Directories aren't linked together, so they aren't passed to

If that is the case, why does it not complain about file_sum_len, which is
also an int that is passed to memset()? The only difference I see is that
xfer_sum_len's memset() is in match.c while file_sum_len's memset() is in
checksum.c, and the only difference I can see with that is that the int is
local to checksum.c and extern in match.c. Very strange. I'm more inclined
to change them into unsigned short values, as they are quite small integers.

You can't make rsync do that directly, but you can filter the output.  For
instance, the following python3 script runs rsync with an --out-format that
starts with "<>" and filters the combined stdout + stderr output, putting
repeated "<>" lines over the top of each other (using ANSII reverse-index &
clear-to-EOL escape sequences). It also allows error/info lines to remain
visible: they do not overwrite the prior merged line and a new merged line
starts below it. If a line is too long to fit on a single terminal line
then there will be some downward movement, but that could be improved
should you desire to do so.

Name this script something like "solo-rsync":

#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys, subprocess
rsync =
subprocess.Popen(
['rsync', '--outbuf=line',
'--out-format=<>%o %n',
*sys.argv[1:]],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
encoding='UTF-8')
folding = False
for line in rsync.stdout:
if line.startswith('<>'):
if folding:
print("\033[A" + line[2:].rstrip("\n") + "\033[K")
else:
print(line[2:], end='')
folding = True
else:
print(line, end='')
folding = False
sys.stdout.flush()

No, the bug was fixed in 3.2.4 and it included an extra feature that allows
rsync to bypass the bug in an older remote rsync that still has the bug.

You have a couple choices:

   1. Re-run ./configure with --disable-openssl added to the options.
   2. figure out what library holds the  EVP_MD_CTX_new entry point on your
   system (if any) and get that library listed in the LIBS setting in the
   Makefile (or maybe tweak LDFLAGS).

The first option is certain to get you going (just w/o openssl crypto).
The second option might be as simple as adding -lssl right *before* the
-lcrypto on the LIBS=... line of the Makefile. You might also/instead need
something like -Wl,-L,/usr/local/lib (if the lib is in a weird dir).

Re: How to use --rsh with multiple sub-arguments?

In addition to what Kevin said, I find it easier to put customizations into
the ~/.ssh/config file under a custom hostname (or the main hostname, as
you prefer).  For instance:

Host name1
Hostname localhost
Port 22
User username
ServerAliveInterval 240
LogLevel Error
IdentifyFile /some/path

At that point you can ssh and/or rsync to "name1" and all those options
auto-apply (you don't even need the "user@" bit). And rsync should default
to using ssh these days (though exporting RSYNC_RSH=ssh does make extra
sure of that).

Re: Patch: disable path sanitization for modules rooted at "/"

In a typical Linux install, the default of "use chroot = true" already
results in sanitize_paths = 0 for a path "/' module, so you must have "use
chroot = false" set in your config file. The test you added is already a
part of the prior "if" since module_dirlen is 0 when the module_dir is "/".

Thus, the weird part is why the code thinks that we need to force
sanitation on for all use-chroot=off cases (especially when a chroot("/")
doesn't accomplish anything extra for a "/" path).  In looking at the
various module configuration possibilities, if we're not chrooted and not
serving "/", then a check of just module_dirlen is sufficient to get
sanitation enabled.  If we are chrooted and we have an inner module_dirlen,
that also triggers the sanitization.  So it seems to me that the earlier
check can be changed to be just "if (module_dirlen)".  I'll probably make
that change after a bit more contemplation.

Re: 3.2.6: ERROR: rejecting unrequested file-list

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

It helps to have some kind of a reproducer.  Also, keep in mind there are 2
kinds of rejections: unrequested args and unfiltered files.  The latter
should have a big improvement in the latest git version. If you want some
debug info on arg rejection, try adding `--debug=filter5` and see what
auto-created filter rules get added to approve incoming file-list items.
That might show you which file-list item is being mistranslated.

Re: Make an rsync using script with old and new versions of rsync without using the "old" way (--old-args)?

On Fri, Sep 2, 2022 at 1:19 AM c.buhtz wrote:

Essentially, just in a way that has a couple drawbacks: it would have
refused to work with rsyncs older than 3.0.0, and it would have refused to
work with a remote rrsync setup (since the "protected" args are sent via
the protocol where rrsync can't see them to verify them).

  5. `--old-args` and `--protect-args` are the opposite of each other?


Yes, protecting the args prevents things like remote space splitting and
such.

The easiest way to do that in a script or even in a user's shell-rc files
is to export 2 environment variables:

export RSYNC_OLD_ARGS=0
export RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS=1

If rsync is 3.2.4 or newer, it will see the newer env var and continue with
its new-style arg protection (since the 0 tells it you don't
want --old-args to be used).  An older rsync will not even notice that

giving it a similar style of arg protection, just one that will complain if
a remote rsync is 2.6.9 (which should be pretty much gone these days) or an
rrsync restricted shell.  These variables don't interfere with manual
overrides on the command-line -- they just ensure the default is what you
want.

Your suggestion of forcing on --seclude-args (aka --protect-args) via -s is
also a reasonable way to go in most instances.

I'm using `-s` here because `--protect-args` will be renamed to

Just because --secluded-args is its new name doesn't mean that rsync stops
accepting the older arg name. But -s is always easier to type.

I think I'll just get rid of it except for some private builds.

My configure script did that using the $GCC var that configure sets:

if test x"$GCC" = x"yes"; then


Maybe Clang 15 broke the testing idiom that sets $GCC?

The security page  covers this: it's
all versions prior to 3.2.5.

The NEWS  discusses this
under PACKAGING: the new verification feature requires the quoted args
feature from 3.2.4. Without that change, rsync can't reliably determine
what the remote arguments actually are (many people add quotes to old-style
args, expect splitting on spaces, variables can be expanded, etc).  Asking
to use unprotected remote args therefore implies trusting the sender.
There is some discussion about this in the manpage
.

One alternative would be to force --protect-args on by default (there is a
configure --with-protected-args option for that) and then base the security
bypass on protect_args being 0 instead of old_style_args being non-0.

I have always rejected overcomplicating rsync with cache control code (the
complexity of a --drop-cache patch I saw was quite horrifying).  In the
past I pointed people towards https://github.com/Feh/nocache as one way to
get posix_fadvise used by an rsync copy.  That project now apparently

Re: [rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.4 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

For those packaging rsync 3.2.4 using a C compiler where "char" defaults to
"unsigned char", such as ARM systems, rsync 3.2.4 will potentially generate
the wrong rolling checksum values, thus failing to optimize the copy with
the full amount of matching local data from a prior copy when high-bit
characters are present.  This can be fixed using a simple configure patch:

https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync-schar-fix-3.2.4.diff

After applying that, doing a full configure & make will fix things up
(those updating an existing build dir can use "make reconfigure" & make).

This fix is committed to git for the upcoming 3.2.5 release.

Only if you could have a directory that matches the lock name and you
didn't want to exclude it. The default is to include a file/dir unless
something excludes it. So you only need an include if you need to make an
exception to an exclude rule that comes after it.

See the latest manpage's filter-rules section
 an easy way to
debug where filtering is going wrong. Doing that would show you that
everything in your transfer is being matched by the first include option
you used.  This is because (as the 2nd paragraph in the filter section
explains) the first matching pattern is acted upon. A good general rule of
thumb is to move more specific rules prior to more general rules.  However,
in your command above, you only need the one lock-excluding option (since
the default is to include anything that doesn't match any of your rules)
and not any of the other include/exclude options.

That is not based on client & server but rather sender & receiver. The
sender gets the filter (include/exclude) commands so that it can trim the
list it sends, but the client uses the min/max size values to figure out
which files it wants to request. The client only uses the filter rules if
it is running deletion commands. The daemon has a bit more paranoia, with
an extra filter list that is consulted on both the sending & receiving
side. So, one simple change that could be done would be to tweak
generator.c & receiver.c and add in filter checks of the main filter_list
where it is checking the daemon_filter_list.

So, for the most part, rsync expects each side to do their job and doesn't
double-check non-security things (it does security-check that the file list
hasn't gone outside the request's bounds and that it doesn't leverage a
symlink as a way to escape the hierarchy, for instance).  There is also the
problem that the generator has no direct way to tell the receiver what it
is doing (given the big loop of information from generator to sender to
receiver) so a rogue sender could be written to send files that the
generator didn't request.

In that ask-ubuntu example they are running a client rsync via sudo, not
the server side.  The server requires the socket to be on stdin, so you
can't use stdin earlier on the command-line for something else.

One thing you could do is to create a custom askpass script that provides
the password on stdout. You must put that script on each remote system
because the SUDO_ASKPASS environment variable must only contain a program
name, so it will not allow a one-line remote invocation (i.e.
SUDO_ASKPASS="echo FOO" fails). For example, create a shell script named
something like echo-askpass:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$SUDO_PASS"

and then use this option to rsync:

--rsync-path "SUDO_ASKPASS=/path/echo-askpass SUDO_PASS=MYPASS sudo -A
rsync"

You could simplify that by moving those environment variables into your
ansible config, perhaps by grabbing the password out of the ansible vault
or having ansible prompt the user. That would let you run "sudo -A rsync"
and not have the password in the command.  The ansible docs detail how to
set remote environment variables.

If you're pushing files (which includes a local copy), putting "%f" into
--out-format gets you the full specified path for the source files.  It
likes to strip the leading slash, so I'll toss that into the format and
assume you'll always use absolute paths:

rsync -a --del --out-format='/%f%L' /path/one/ /path/two/ /dest/path/

If you're pulling files, you could switch to a daemon-over-ssh setup
(creating a remote ~/rsyncd.conf file with a single module in it) and
specify a log directive with %f in it.  I believe that gets you a log file
of the full path names, but not any extra path info in the output.

Of course, if you have a single source, you could fudge the info:

rsync -a --del --out-format='/one/path/%n%L' host:/one/path/ /dest/path/

They  do now, but it looks like you have lots of files hard-linked together
and presumably 2 of them aren't the same anymore on the source. Thus, the
file gets modified to the other version during the transfer and then
modified back elsewhere in the transfer.

If you get rid of the --inplace option, rsync will be able to separate them.

When working on some filter rules it helps to use --debug=FILTER or
--debug=FILTER2 options. (While these are implied by -vv and -vvv
respectively, it's better to be more specific in what you want to debug.)
The FILTER2 level mentions the add_rule(RULE_HERE) call where a trailing
space would be visible prior to the trailing paren, though it might not be
immediately obvious.  I've just made a change in git that makes rsync
output a warning message in either debug-filter level if there is a
trailing space or tab on a rule, which will help someone notice it if they
didn't intend to specify it.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.4pre2 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

Rsync version 3.2.4pre2 is now available for release testing. I decided to
go ahead and make a fairly significant change from pre1 to pre2: the new
backslash escaping of remote args.  This should be a more compatible change
than making --protect-args enabled by default, and I figured that since
there was already an output change in 3.2.4 it would be good to group this
(potential) scripting-relevant change into one release rather than dividing
it over 2 separate releases.

Re: --copy-unsafe-links unexpected behavior with unsafe symlinks

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

To be extra clear (since I was overly terse in my hasty answer), here's
your last example fixed for you:

$ cd ~/dev
$ rsync --copy-unsafe-links -aivz --delete ~/tmp/TST/tree/
~/tmp/XXX/tree/

This is how rsync knows where the safe restriction lies -- at the top of
the transfer (the final slash). Thus, your statement about your desired
restriction not being possible is false.

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

Read the section on --copy-unsafe-symlinks and make the change I
recommended.  That's all there is to it. When a dir name is in the
transfer, it is not the top of the transfer tree. It's parent is. This is
pretty standard rsync stuff, where trailing slashes are very important to
rsync.

In this case, the "tree" directory is a part of the transfer inside the
top-of-transfer dir (the current directory). Thus any symlinks that don't
try to escape the current directory are considered to be OK.  You should
instead suffix "tree" with a slash and add "tree" to your destination path:

$ rsync --copy-unsafe-links -aivz --delete tree/ host:/old/path/tree/

This is discussed in the man page
 (search for "unsafe").

Since rsync doesn't supply any malloc code, that's probably a question for
your C-library provider. You might first try out 3.2.3, which fixed a
couple mem issues in the xattr code, but since you don't seem to be using
xattrs, that may not change anything. You could also try running rsync
under something like valgrind and see if it spits out any mem issues
(though it would run more slowly while doing it). Please keep in mind that
it's always most helpful to upgrade before starting in on a

You mean "does not".  That is correct, as it only creates backup dirs to

Re: Is there any way to restore/create hardlinks lost in incremental backups?

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

I should also mention that there are totally valid reasons why the dir
might be huge on day4. For instance, if someone changed the mode on the
files from 664 to 644 then the files cannot be hard-linked together even if
the file's data is unchanged. The same goes for differences in preserved
xattrs, acls, and ownership.  In such a case you could decide that you
don't care about the change in meta info and tweak it on the earlier files
to match day4's files and then the suggested re-link command would decide
it could join them together.  You'd probably then need to keep going and
re-link day5's pictures (since it was probably linking to the old day4's
pictures).

Re: Is there any way to restore/create hardlinks lost in incremental backups?

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

You could rsync the current day4 dir to a day4.new dir, and list all the
prior days as --link-dest options. Make sure that you're using the same
xatt/acl options as your official backup command (the options may or may
not be present) so that you are preserving the same level of info as the
backup.  You also have the choice of copying the whole day4 dir or just the
day4/pictures dir, as you see fit.

For example:

rsync -aiv --link-dest=../day1 --link-dest=../day2
--link-dest=../day3 day4/ day4.new/
mv day4 day4.bad
mv day4.new day4

If you only want to reprocess the pictures subdir, just tweak the "day4/"
arg to be "day4/pictures" (no trailing slash) and change the mv commands to
deal with just that subdir.

The "dst" dir isn't in the transfer, so it can't appear in a filter rule*.
If you really specified "src" instead of "src/" (with a trailing slash)
there's no way rsync would ever delete dst/XYZ since it's putting all files
into dst/src. You could protect dst/src/XYZ using a filter of "protect
/src/XYZ/" (the leading slash makes it match at the top of the transer, and
the trailing slash makes it match only a dir).  If you're actually copying
"src/" then you would "protect /XYZ/" (you should always match the names
you see in the transfer's verbose output).

*: Note that you could alternately specify an absolute filter rule such as
--filter "P/ /mnt/dst/XYZ/" since the "/" qualifier to the protect makes it
match an absolute  pathname.  Those rules are slightly less efficient than
matching transfer paths since rsync has to convert the name before it can
compare it, but that tends to not be a big deal for most transfers.

Ah, that's what you were trying to do. Your original email sounded like you
just didn't want it to recurse into subdirectories.

An easier solution than what you ended up with is to specify a trailing
slash after the dir names since that tells rsync you want to copy the
content of a directory rather than the directory by name:

rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --exclude '*'

Gcc likes to generate just a warning, not an error, which is enough for me
to notice the issue and fix it.  However, it would be nice if it was an
actual error, so I'm tweaking configure.ac to specify -pedantic-errors
(sometimes followed by --Wno-pedantic) for gcc, which seems to turn it into
an error just fine.  I've also expanded the array a bit.

I doubt that very much, so I'd suggest checking on what else might be going
on.  Rsync has a bunch of safety functions with built-in dry-run checks
that keep it from making the changes that it itemizes that need to be
done.  And if it didn't even mention that a file needs to be updated,
there's no reason for it to have somehow made a secret change.  If you were
expecting to see a file change in the list of dry-run changes and it's not
there, then something prior to the rsync dry-run must have changed it.
Given that you're using -H, you might check if the affected file was linked
to a file that was recently changed in some other copy.

You didn't specify what isn't working as you expect. That command works
fine for the 3 listed dir names as long as you either don't have matching
files inside /my/phone/root/dir (or as long as it's ok to also copy those
files) and as long as there aren't subdirs or files named the same as the 3
top dirs you included. The latter can be fixed by anchoring your dir names
and making them only match a dir (e.g. --include '/Duo/').  If you want to
have the copy avoid files in the top dir you can either change all the
file-based includes to have a "*/" prefix (such as "--include '*/*.png'
...") or you can change the dir includes into args and exclude '*/*'
instead of "*".  The last option would look like this (I also tossed in -i):

rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --exclude '*/*'
/my/phone/root/dir/{Duo,DCIM,WhatsApp} /my/backup/directory/for/images/

That assumes you've got bash to do the brace expansion, but you could
change that into 3 arg paths if you need to. You may also want to add --del
if you want rsync to delete inside the 3 listed dirs.

I'm not sure why you listed an extra command with "NewDir" when it's not
mentioned in the first command.  If that is an indication that you really
want to copy all dirs under root/dir (not just the 3 named dirs in the
first command) then you could use an include of "/*/" to match any dir in
the root of the transfer, like this:

rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --include '/*/' --exclude '*'
/my/phone/root/dir/ /my/backup/directory/for/images/

One last suggestion, I like to make the args shorter by using -f (filter)
commands, so an include example is -f '+ *.png' and an exclude example is
-f '- /*/' (those are identical to the equivalent include/exclude args, so
that's just personal preference).

Indeed, the 2-step approach that you mentioned is all that the released
rsync supports.  I've just checked-in a change that adds the `--info=skip2`
option that will add a suffix to the "exists" message that indicates the
existence-skipped file's status: "type change", or "sum change" (requires
`-c`), "file change" (based on quick check), "attr change", or "uptodate".

My reading of the code also suggests that if the sender is

Undoubtedly true, since the only thing the option does is limit what files
the generator will request. At some point it will be good to double-check
that the receiver doesn't get a file that the generator didn't request, but
the current nature of the round-robin pipe through the sender makes that
difficult without some new kind of direct generator-to-receiver flow of
information.  I have an idea of how I'd like to improve rsync's
receiver-side process setup in the future, but it's not easy to tweak in
the current version.

Various things were removed that had limited value or were something that
had no chance of ever being merged.  The acls & xattrs diffs were never
needed for any released rsync, but some distros may want to keep applying
their own version of the patches if they think they have pre-3.0.0 rsyncs
hanging around that have pre-release xattrs/acls support (so after 12 years
I'll let them deal with any remaining effects of their distributing
pre-release patches). I'll probably be removing some more patches soon as I
weed through them.  One example of something that will probably go away is
the source-filter_dest-filter.diff -- it's marked as being very dangerous
and thus never something that would go in an official release (so it would
be horrible if someone ignored the cautions and distributed an rsync with
that applied).

All new, wonderful libraries have a point in time where they begin to get
used.  If you transfer large files then you probably want it.  If you use
compression then you also probably want at least zstd.  The INSTALL file

includes full details on the things you might want to install before
running configure and the suggested package-install commands that would
have probably helped you out.

I also noted that the configure script asks for installation of cmarkgfm or

No, it does not for a release. It sounds like you grabbed a github repo
snapshot tar file instead of a release tar file. The release tars include
various generated files to make a normal install easier, and do not require
any commonmark stuff nor autoconf stuff.  One other thing that is not well
documented is that you can grab the latest generated files for the latest
git commit using "./prepare-source fetchgen".  Currently that requires an
existing rsync and an openssl binary (since samba's rsync daemon requires
an ssl connection these days).

Yeah, that is on the annoying side.  It would be nice if it created a full
list of the missing items and then failed with a full summary of what
should be either added or disabled.

Thanks for the package lists.  Many of those were already in the INSTALL
docs, but I haven't had access to a Fedora host, for instance, and getting
some info there is helpful.  You did err on the side of installing too much
stuff, though.  You installed some cmark tools which aren't related to the
python3 library, for instance.  And you installed some other python
libraries, such as a python version of xxhash, which is also not needed.
The extra installs don't harm anything, though (other than your disk space).

If you want rsync to do the deletions during a copy from one of the
servers, you'll need a filter file of "protect" (P) rules for every dir and
file on the other source server (you could also cull the list to avoid P
rules for files that they have in common, but that's not mandatory).  The
filter file would need to have lines like "P /foo" and "P /path/bar" in it
where the "/" refers to the top of the transfer, not the top of the
filesystem. That would allow you to copy from (for instance) server 1 with
--filter=". protect-rules" and --del (and --dry-run the first time) and
have it avoid removing any of the files unique to server 2.

Yes.  The old-style exclude/include options just turn into the simplest

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.2pre2 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

I have made rsync 3.2.2pre2 available for release testing. I noticed a
couple more minor issues with building from an alternative dir, so I
simplified the build-dir idiom to put all the generated files in the build
dir instead of having some of the configure-related ones in the src dir.
This simplification made it easy to improve my patch-maintenance and
release scripts, so I did that as well. And I finally moved the version out
of the configure script so that I don't need to re-run configure every time
the version number changes.

Re: Rsync Daemon Remote Pull

[Wayne Davison via rsync]

On Sat, Jun 27, 2020 at 7:17 AM Chandrasekar Natarajan wrote:

One thing you can do is to change the initial command from "rsync" to
"/usr/bin/rsync" (if that is where the real command is installed in your
setup) in order to try to avoid any script & shell alias effects (but it
won't avoid any popt alises). It's only your system where the problem
exists so you're the one that needs to figure out where the
local non-option arg is coming from in your setup (since it's something
wrong outside of rsync and outside of the never-exact command you say
you're running).

If all else fails, move the real rsync aside and put a shell script in its
place that tells you the args it's getting (be sure to install this in
place of /usr/bin/rsync or whatever path the real rsync is installed at):

#!/bin/sh
for arg in "${@}"; do
  case "$arg" in
-*) echo "Option: $arg" ;;
*:*) echo "Remote arg: $arg" ;;
*) echo "Local arg: $arg" ;;
  esac
done


Just ignore that saying the port number is a local arg (it's an arg to the
--port option) or change your run to use "--port=4783" (with an equal sign)
since the script doesn't know which options take args.  That should show
you exactly what rsync is getting. If that shows no issues then you should
be looking for a popt alias that is injecting an extra local arg into the
command line (as described earlier).

This means that your non-option args starts with a local arg, contains a
remote arg somewhere in the middle, and ends with either a local or remote
arg.  None of those are valid because all the source args must match in
being either local or remote.

So, you need to figure out where the local path comes from early in the
command-line.  For instance, if you copied an "--option" that has some kind
of unicode char instead of real dashes, it could look like an option but
actually be parsed as a local arg.  Or you may have some kind of alias or
script that is adding an arg early in your rsync command-line.  Be sure to
check for shell aliases, popt aliases (the ~/.popt and /etc/popt files),
and "rsync" scripts on your path.

There are several options:

   1. Set the "pre-xfer exec = /script/name" in your daemon module and make
   the script check if a /mnt/DATA/known-to-exist-subdir is missing and if so,
   do an "exit 1".
   2. If your server rsync is at least 3.2.1, set the "early exec =
   /script/name" in your daemon module and make the script verify that the
   drive is mounted & attempt to mount it if it is not (return an error code
   if unable to mount it).  The mount action is not possible in the pre-xfer
   exec script because rsync has already done a chdir to the empty mount by
   the time this script runs.
   3. Move everything down into a deeper directory and tweak the path in
   your daemon module to be "path = /mnt/DATA/subdir" so that the transfer
   will fail when the mount is not there (because the subdir is not there).

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.0pre3 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

I have made rsync 3.2.0pre3 available for testing.  This is mainly some
improvements in configuration and portability fixes.

Let's see if this one will end up being the last "pre" version before
3.2.0. Please give it a try! Send feedback via email to the rsync mailing
list. Bugs can be created via bugzilla tickets, github issues, or discussed
on the mailing list.

The changes since pre2:

   - Various configure changes to make sure that the packager doesn't miss
   out on new features that require new dependencies.
   - Made the SIMD code opt-in instead of opt-out.
   - Configure now checks to ensure that if the man pages are missing that
   there's a python3 setup that can generate them (the early info is better
   than a future make failure). Man page generation can also be disabled via
   configure option.
   - Fixed a portability issue with some sed code by turning it into awk
   code.
   - Fixed a Makefile portability issue.
   - Updated the config.guess and config.sub, which helps with newer OS
   releases such as Centos 7.
   - Ran test compilations on FreeBSD, Solaris, CentOS, AIX, Ubuntu,
   openSUSE, Debian, & Cygwin.
   - Fixed a build issue when iconv is not available.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.0pre2 released

[Wayne Davison via rsync-announce]

I have made rsync 3.2.0pre2 available for testing.  I got some nice
feedback on a couple items in the pre1 release, so I decided to roll up
that with a few other changes and release pre2.

I'm hopeful that this will end up being the version that gets released as
3.2.0, so please give it a try! Send feedback via email to the rsync
mailing list. Bugs can be created via bugzilla tickets, github issues, or
discussed on the mailing list.

The changes since pre1:

   - Renamed the "haproxy header" daemon parameter "proxy protocol".
   - Added preliminary gnutls support to rsync-ssl script (it's not
   auto-discovered yet due to a bug in gnutls-cli that is being reported
   upstream).
   - Some manpage & .md-file improvements, particularly around
   non-breakable spaces and dashes.
   - Make more error messages mention if the receiver or the sender is
   complaining.
   - Made a couple rrsync updates.
   - Document in rsyncd.conf.5 how to setup an SSL/TLS rsyncd proxy from
   haproxy or nginx.
   - Various release script improvements and fixes.
