Well, since I'm probably the one that made this change, I thought I'd jump in here. First, is it just printing the file name, updating only the timestamp, or copying over the whole file? Just because it prints the filename does not mean it is transfering the whole file. It just means that rsync flagged it for some kind of update. Identifying the update that rsync flagged it for would help in debugging. The change that is suspected of causing your grief is a change from using "rsync -a" to using "rsync -r". -a according to the man page is equivalent to -rlptgoD. To simplify, it recursivly transfers files files preserving links, ownership, group, permissions, devices, and timestamps. Most of those are not needed for the finkinfo files. As a test, could you modify your /sw/lib/perl/Fink/SelfUpdate.pm file so that instead of having an "rsync -rz" you have "rsync -rtz"? The timestamp flag is the only other one I can see affecting this. Thanks, Rob ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
