Wayne Davison <wa...@opencoder.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #1 from Wayne Davison <wa...@opencoder.net> --- Yeah, the whole -zz idiom was not the best way to have implemented the internal/external compression idiom. I'll look into what options we have to make it better. The best way to improve how rsync can interacts with an older rsync that is using the internal zlib is to somehow fix the external-zlib compression support to make them both compatible. That was the original intent, and while it often works OK it likes to fail in strange ways, so I ended up making it complain and die to avoid the potential for corrupted data or aborted transfers. If anyone has time to look into why the two get out of sync, that would be very helpful. -- 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.
