Hi,
I noticed a weird problem with "make test" on rsync-2.5.5. It seems that the testsuite only works if rsync is already installed (presumably an older version...). I think the tests intend to run the rsync that was just built and not the previously existing rsync, but is not what appears to happen. The test script output contains messages like this: Running: "rsync -aHvv "/tmp/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.hardlinks/from/" "/tmp/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.hardlinks/to/"" ./testsuite/hardlinks.test: rsync: not found On a system without rsync I get these failed tests: FAIL hardlinks FAIL chgrp I'm running OpenBSD 3.1. Is there something I can do? Also, is it OK to build and install as root? I remember reading something about not running rsync as root, but I can't find a reference to that anymore, so I'm not sure. If the tests run rsync, then I guess if would be bad to build as root.
