Package: rsync Version: 3.0.9-4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Being able to anna-install rsync (or rsync-udeb) would occasionally be very useful when using d-i in rescue mode. I had a collegue asking how to get this working yesterday and thinking back there have been occasions where I would have liked it too. In the absence of the udeb things like http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/d-i-tricks/ "Cloning another system via rsync/ssh" get suggested, which (I suppose, I usually end up finding some other way to rescue the system) work but are not all that convenient. It may be that rsync would require lots of libraries which are not present in the d-i environment, in which case I'd understand if you were to close this won't fix (actually, I'd quite understand that in the general case too). Thanks, Ian. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii base-files 7.2 ii libacl1 2.2.52-1 ii libc6 2.17-92+b1 ii libpopt0 1.16-7 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian12 rsync recommends no packages.
