[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy
Reading other comments, I perceive that there is confusion about the compatibility between 2.6 and 3.0.x. It is simply not true that *in all cases* 2.6 can talk with 3.0.x. Whether or not a 2.6 can talk to a 3.0.x depends on the the *actual arguments* passed to the client. In my earlier report you can see that the 2.6 and 3.0.3 cannot talk together because the parameter --acls was used. If --acls had not been used, they would probably have talked together fine. 3.0.x degrades its protocol only as much as it possibly can while at the same time still provide the features new to the 3.0.x series. The only way to have full compatibility *in all cases* is to have the same version (or maybe different version of the same series is enough) on both the client and the server. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy
I was actually thinking about this yesterday, wondering why it hadn't moved forward. I've continued using version 3 without any problems whatsoever, and that includes in mixed 2.6 and 3.0 environments. I will point out a couple of things. The work that Chris Coulson did was for version 3.0.3. Currently 3.0.4 is available in Jaunty and 3.0.5 was released Dec 28th and is in Debian Sid. Looking over the bugfixes for 3.0.5 I'd say it might be worth trying to get 3.0.5 into Jaunty and then backporting that into hardy (and possibly intrepid if people are interested). http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.5-NEWS For people looking to try the various versions: 3.0.3 can still be found here and can be installed with no other changes: https://launchpad.net/~chrisccoulson/+archive 3.0.4 can be found here but also requires installing backported lsb-base (available from the same archive): https://launchpad.net/~pgquiles/+archive It also looks like 3.0.5 work is beginning in that latter archive: https://launchpad.net/~pgquiles/+archive/+index?field.name_filter=rsyncfield.status_filter=any -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

rsync 3 gracefully degrades and properly supports older rsync (as both a client and server). I know because we have a mix of rsync server in production, at my work, transferring ~10Gb between sites. As the machines are re-installed with Hardy, we are also installing our own backport; it would be advantageous for the Ubuntu community to have all the features that rsync offers (identified earlier) easily available to them. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To ease testing, I put rsync 3 for hardy in our PPA. Its available there for anyone who wishes to grab it That being said, I'm concerned about backporting rsync since it means that if you have backports enabled, it might break rsync against non- backport enabled hardy boxes. If we could have both packages installed side by side (or at least, have it so that it a seperate source package (i.e. rsync3), it might be a safer alternative. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy
I'm glad work is being done on this. It is really useful that 3.0.* be backported to Hardy. The protocol changed in 3.0.0. If a rsync = 3.0.0 tries to talk to a rsync = 3.0.0 at the other end the communication can fail. I've had failures like: 2008/10/31 14:00:58 [19814] --acls requires protocol 30 or higher (negotiated 29). 2008/10/31 14:00:58 [19814] rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(195) [sender=3.0.3] The sender runs Intrepid, the receiver runs Hardy.

We can tick off dput already - I used that quite a bit on Hardy with this backported version of rsync, and it seems to work with no regressions. The same goes for grsync - I used that quite extensively with this version of rsync.

[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy
No apologies needed; I'm happy to see this moving forward. I've switched almost all of my servers to your version. I haven't noticed any regressions. In fact, all I've noticed is that the 2 major problems I've experienced with rsync 2.6.9 have been disappeared: 1. Synchronizing very large files - For large files, like 10GB virtual disk images the older version would sometimes not properly synchronize an image. This could be seen by using rsync on the file and then comparing md5 or sha1 checksums. It would work only is the -c option was set, which is much slower. Rsync 3 seems to work without -c so it must use a more careful algorithm. 2. Synchronizing large numbers of files - I'd say rsync 3 has knocked an hour or so off of certain backup jobs that require backing up more than a million files. Previously to prevent rsync from using too much memory I had to break the job into multiple smaller pieces. Now rsync 3 works fine by itself with memory usage and running time greatly reduced. So thus far I'd highly support this becoming available for Hardy. I think any user that upgrades will never want to go back. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy
The backport for Etch seems to work fine with lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1. The requirement for Lenny is lsb-base (= 3.0). It should be investigated as to whether the changed dependency in Ubuntu is necessary. If not, it should be changed in the source package for Intrepid. If so, then the backport should have its dependency information changed making it a trivial/safe source change. I'll also note, for those who are interested in using rsync 3 now without having to build from source, that the rsync 3.0.3 backport for Etch seems to work fine under Ubuntu 8.04. I'll be doing extensive testing tonight and if I encounter problems I will post here with that information. -- please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
