That would make sense. However, the default BLFS build at this point uses ssh as the default transport. Looking at the source code, best I can figure is that unless you pass additional parameters to the configure script, rsync will attempt to use ssh as the transport. The internal mechanics aren't really the issue though. My question is more about the policy that run-time dependencies aren't listed unless there is a special exception. To me, this qualifies as a special exception. I will defer to whatever Bruce thinks is best, as policy is to not list non-compile time dependencies. What it boils down to is: 1. List SSH as a recommended dependency, or 2. Place a note in the book about SSH (problem is, I'm not really qualified to write this note, as I'm not familiar enough with the internal mechanics of rsync). -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:18:00 up 61 days, 12:51, 2 users, load average: 0.10, 0.07, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
