Bug ID: 11650 Summary: temporal directory Product: rsync Version: 3.1.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: dietrich.dar...@gmail.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org rsync's tmp-dir option fails to correctly parse the directory name if the string ends in '/' causing the files to be downloaded, but never saved anywhere. rsync --tmp-dir=/tmp/.rsync/ (...) > rsync: mkstemp "/tmp/.rsync//filename.randomStr" failed: No such file or > directory I used something like this from a cron job. The most awful part is that the download occurs, so it may appear that the syncing is going ok, but it's not. It may be argued that the directory name is just wrongly typed as the directory is just another file (and thus, it's name should not contain the final '/'), but it is not unusual to denote directories with the "extra" '/', so at least the behavior should be to abort early and blame the user, but silently "fixing" the directory name seems a way better option. I'm not sure about the extent of this bug, maybe more flags fail to parse '/'-ended directory names. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
