I don't think so. Fink rsync is the standard rsync, like Apple's, just at a newer version (right now it seems to be out of sync with the rsync site. The 2.5.1 sources have moved to a subdirectory). You are probably thinking of rsyncX (http://www.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html). AFAICT (I might be wrong on some of this, I did only some short tests) this is a weird hybrid of standard rsync and some MacOSX elements: It - replaces Apple's /usr/bin/rsync - uses the Apple installer (which tells you absurdly that this installation needs 100MB of disk space and that you will have to restart your computer before using this software) - has a kind of "command line GUI" or "GUI command line" that doesn't look very useful - doesn't play nice with other versions of rsync at the other end - maybe doesn't work at all from the command line (when I tried, it did not produce copies of the files, but some weird *-attr files), but maybe I just didn't understand what it is supposed to do - does not come with sources (not very GPL conforming) - has not much of a documentation For the moment I think this is something to avoid, and certainly not suited for a Fink package. There is also a Perl "psync" command that is HFS+ aware, but I don't know if it is contained in one of the Fink perl modules. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
