Going to upgrad rsync V2.6.7 to V3.0.5
Hi, We have been planning to upgrad rsync 3.0.5. I have some question on this so that we will not screwed up the file systems. We have been using rsync 2.6.7 since long and we didn't have any major problems. I am wondering if we upgrade rsync 3.0.5 then will it cause any unexpected behaviour then rsync 2.6.7? Can we directly upgrade it without any problems? It would be nice if someone suggest anything that we need to care to be safe side. Also I could see so many bug fixes after rsync 3.0.5 release. Do I have to patch all the bug fixes or its fine if I use only rsync 3.0.5? Thanks, Jignesh -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
