Re: Netware modify bit changed

2001-12-06 Thread tim . conway
I think that what Juan means is that when you rsync from one system where the archive bit is unset, to another place, these files, which were archive=0 on their source, are new creations on the target system, and have the archive bit set. Rsync has no provision to preserve these attributes,

RE: move rsync development tree to BitKeeper?

2001-12-06 Thread Keating, Tim
If you're serious about not using CVS (and I've used it, I understand why you might be :), may I suggest Perforce? It's a commercial product but it is free for use on open-source projects. The only complication would be you'd need to find a server to host it. I can say definitively that it ROCKS.

unexplained error code when updating large (2G+) file

2001-12-06 Thread Chuck Fisher
When trying to transfer a large file to another system in update mode (actually checking new build of 2.5.0 on HPUX 11.11, the file already exists but I was checking to see that rsync recognized that), I get: rsync error: unexplained error (code 130) at main.c(537) Any suggestions as to what

Problem: rsync hangs

2001-12-06 Thread Ed Santiago
Greetings, We've been experiencing intermittent timeout errors with rsync 2.4.x, but I've never been able to set up a small enough test case, nor track down the problem to its root cause[1]. Rsync 2.5.0 still has problems, but in a perverted way it's better: it's reproducible more quickly (1

Re: move rsync development tree to BitKeeper?

2001-12-06 Thread Mark Eichin
GNU Subversions is apparently now self-hosting (and is actually free, instead of arguably free :-) If you're looking at perforce or bitkeeper, though, also look at Accurev 3.0 (which is free-for-free-software, in java, *fast* and has a better consistency model...)

Re: rsync-2.5.1pre1 with -F option

2001-12-06 Thread Jos Backus
Here's a better patch; rsync should now no longer dump core if called with insufficient arguments. write_batch_argvs_file() is still ugly though, not sure how to clean this up. Index: batch.c === RCS file: /cvsroot/rsync/batch.c,v

Cosmetic code cleanup?

2001-12-06 Thread Jos Backus
Here's a list of cosmetic changes I'd be willing to make to the code in order to make it more consistent, which stylisticly it currently is not. - separate function definitions by 2 newlines - put spaces after commas in arg lists - put spaces around assignments - remove trailing spaces - change
