Oops, did I forget to include that all this time? I'm getting a 404
on the actual patch from that page though.
OK. I'm attaching the patch here.
I just got around to looking at this.. But I don't really see what
problem it fixes. Apparently the issue is with --no-hard-links, but
on my system that seems to work fine:
~ $ md in
~ $ touch in/foo
~ $ ln in/foo in/bar
~ $ ls -l in/
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 2 ben ben 0 Oct 31 00:18 bar
-rw-r--r-- 2 ben ben 0 Oct 31 00:18 foo
~ $ rdiff-backup --no-hard-links in out
~ $ ls -l out
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 0 Oct 31 00:18 bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 0 Oct 31 00:18 foo
drwx------ 3 ben ben 4096 Oct 31 00:19 rdiff-backup-data/
The files are correctly unlinked in the out directory.
I don't know.
Maybe Dave Vasilevsky, the original author of the patch can explain it,
who I've cc'ed.
BTW, here's the log message in Debian's change log. Not that it's
saying anything more than what's already said:
Added rdiff-backup-hardlinks.dpatch to insure flag '--no-hard-links' is
not overridden by filesystem abilities and to fix handling of hard links
on Mac OS X (Thanks to Dave Vasilevsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
Regards,
Blair
