rsync-3.0.6 on cygwin-1.7
A new 3.0.6 package is now available on cygwin-1.7; I don't plan to upgrade Cygwin-1.5 packages anymore, so if you want newer releases on rsync please upgrade to 1.7, with proper care: http://cygwin.com/#beta-test This release includes a small patch on rsync configure to detect IPv6 and xattr on Cygwin, please consider including them (or a modification of them) upstream to help people have a full-featured rsync on cygwin also when compiling it manually and not thru the cygport package. xattr right now should work on SMB and will be fixed on NTFS very soon. The xattrs test fails because Cygwin doesn't currently have a setfattr utility, so right now the xattr feature is not thoroughly tested and is considered experimental. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/110581 --- origsrc/rsync-3.0.6/configure.in2009-05-08 19:07:14.0 +0200 +++ src/rsync-3.0.6/configure.in2009-09-17 06:53:08.927125000 +0200 @@ -196,8 +196,18 @@ AC_ARG_ENABLE(ipv6, [don't even try to use IPv6])) if test x$enable_ipv6 != xno; then AC_MSG_CHECKING([ipv6 stack type]) - for i in inria kame linux-glibc linux-inet6 toshiba v6d zeta; do + for i in cygwin inria kame linux-glibc linux-inet6 toshiba v6d zeta; do case $i in + cygwin) + AC_EGREP_CPP(yes, [ +#include netinet/in.h +#ifdef _CYGWIN_IN6_H +yes +#endif], + [ipv6type=$i; + AC_DEFINE(INET6, 1, [true if you have IPv6]) + ]) + ;; inria) # http://www.kame.net/ AC_EGREP_CPP(yes, [ @@ -940,7 +950,7 @@ if test x$enable_xattr_support = xno AC_MSG_RESULT(no) else case $host_os in -*linux*) +*linux* | *cygwin*) AC_MSG_RESULT(Using Linux xattrs) AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LINUX_XATTRS, 1, [True if you have Linux xattrs]) AC_DEFINE(SUPPORT_XATTRS, 1) -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

rsync and cygwin paths

talking about can eventually correct me)
jw schultz wrote:
Perhaps that is the document he needs. If not could you
cygwinese, cygwinites, cygwinists, cygwinim or whatever
point him to one that will clear up the slash/backslash
issues that still haven't been addressed. Rsync does not
recognise backslashes as such in exclude patterns. Path
components are expected to be delimited by slashes (/)
only. I expect the cygwin library translates as necessary.
Basically if you want to be sure about what you mean you better never
use \.
I think the actual state is: cygwin's open() tries to do its best to
open also path with \ but most of the times there are 'problems' (that
are, of course, no 'problems' but its meant that way) in the code of the
app. itself that block \ thinking they are shell escapes or anyway
invalid paths... so that only a few application can be really used with
windows paths.
Avoiding them completely is the safest choiche.
Please notice that there is a default prgoramm called cygpath that's
really useful to convert path- and file-names between the two version,
and it's not so hard to create wrapper scripts to convert them, e.g.
(I copied this long ago from I-don't-remember-where):

Re: Rsync / SSH / Cygwin .. permission problems..
Oswell, Michael wrote: [sorry for the full quote, but I'm CCing the cygwin mailing list too] I am attempting to use rsync to mirror data between several windows 2000 and windows XP systems. I am a UNIX person by nature, so decided the easiest way to go about doing this would be to use Cygwin with cron and ssh running as services, then run the rsync connection nightly through cron. Cygwin is installed on both systems and works perfectly. OpenSSH is installed and running, and the rsync user we created is able to ssh using password-less keys between the 2 systems. When I run rsync, it correctly pulls the data down that I want. The problem is that there are NO permissions on the files that are pulled down, so they are basically inaccessable. I have tried with and without the -p option, hoping the files would inherit parent directory permissions if I didn't use it, but it doesn't appear to do so. The command as I run it is; rsync -rlztpv --rsh=ssh --delete remote-fs:/path/to/the/files . or rsync -rlztv --rsh=ssh --delete remote-fs:/path/to/the/files . With the p option included, there are no permission bits set on the files whatsover. Without the p option, it sets the files to 0200. Any ideas here? Both systems have the Domain groups in the groups file, and have the rsync user as well as local users in the passwd file. I would prefer to not have to have ALL domain users in the password file for cygwin if possible. I have also tried this from a DOS shell instead of a cygwin shell with the same results..

Mike -
Greger Cronquist and I have been using a patched rsync
successfully. This was patched from two published patches,
one for buffering which seems to cause severe performance
problems under cygwin while only mild under Linux. The
is for the hang documented elsewhere. Here are patch discussion links:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00308.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html
Below are the diffs. Note the use of 100ms not 30ms as per the
original posting.
Since you are on the rsync list, can you get them into that code line?

Hey Scott,
I'm Mike Rubel (author of that snapshot system page)--I haven't heard
about this cygwin issue before, but this would definitely be worth adding
to the FAQ. I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with it!
You're actually the second person to mention windows issues; the other
fellow was using a SAMBA mount and rsyncing locally on the server. The
problem there was files mysteriously getting copied when they hadn't
changed, or deleted when they weren't supposed to be. I asked the
list if
anyone else had seen that behavior, but no one responded, so I'm not sure
what to think. I'll add it to the FAQ, anyway, and maybe the BUGS
section.
Please let me know if you find any additional information. I'm on the
rsync list but not the cygwin list (yet).
I've had no trouble with this at home with my roommate's Win2K PC, but
between this case and the previous one, it sounds like the rsync/windows
interaction may still have some rough edges, which is not really
acceptable for a backup solution. :(
Thanks,

I would recommend trying this one-line patch to see if it helps.
I haven't personally delved into the true meaning.
I just checked my read-only CVS tree for rsync again.
Here is the context diff for that file. Note that the msleep(100)

Re: rsync on win32: a) slow, b) crashes
If you download gcc with cygwin, the compilation procedure is exactly the same as under *nix. As for the cygwin1.dll problems, I don't know how compatible the different versions are, but I assume the API is pretty fixed. I don't think you can link cygwin statically. In the past there are known some BIG problems about multiple DLLs in the system.. so it's better to always use setup.exe to install (maybe with a local dir containing just the needed packages, to avoid network install) and have a real cygwin installed. distributing the file with the DLL is not good. Regarding inclusion, I think the rsync/cygwin-maintainer is on this list, so we can hope! :-) I am indeed, unfortunately I have too much business university work to examine it carefully at this time, I hope to have some in the christmas vacations, though.

Re: Strong encryption
| That would lessen encryption security, of course. All encryption is done in chunks, the size varies of course, usually between 1 and 256 bits. Of course, but even if block ciphers are usually used to encode data, they are usually used in OFB or other feedback mode that convert them to stream ciphers, so that equal blocks are NOT converted to equal blocks (this would of course lessen the security A LOT) so the fact that the original cipher is a block cipher is totally ininfluent and a change in a single bit in the plaintext creates changes from that block until the end, in the ciphertext. Lapo BTW: using the cipher in ECB (without feedback) is much less secure, see the RSALABS FAQ for more infos or other crypto texts. -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796) -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

little patch with zero priority
Hi, I have a little request, which should be considered very very very
very low priority but would be useful nonetheless... in Makefile.in
there are two lines with additional space at end of line and my editor
strip it, so I must hand-edit the cygwin-specific patch in order to
create the package (nothing serious: only patch is using /usr instead of
/usr/local as a default prefix and installing
$(srcdir)/CYGWIN-PATCHES/rsync-2.5.5.README in ${prefix}/doc/Cygwin).
As I said of course this has ZERO priority, but if there are no real
reasons not to do it, it would simplify things just a bit =)

Re: rsync 2.5.4 on win2k machine
D:\tmprsync -rcv *.bat \\bitserver\tmp First of all you should use unix-like paths and, to my knowledge, you can't use UNC paths... isn't you command line creating a directory /bitserver/tmp (or maybe /bitservertabmp) in the posix root (c:\cygwin, probably)? building file list ... done [...]test.bat read error: Connection reset by peer = i am getting read error: Connection reset by peer What version are you using 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 had such problems, but 2.5.4 is *much* better. is there any rsync setup required to make it work ? is it supposed to work with command prompt Or with ONLY cygwin ? It can work with command prompt of course, but you must use posix paths nonetheless. you can use cygpath to convert them if you want I checked /usr/doc/Cygwin rsync README file but it just tells me about compiling. i tried to compile even the latest rsync 2.5.4 source, but got following error: That's strange: 2.5.4 (as previous version) compiles out of the box with no particular library it doesn't already contains in its subdir. -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796) -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: Updated: rsync-2.5.2-1
Rsync 2.5.2 has a data-destroying bug as described here: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-January/005966.html Lapo, does Cygwin rsync-2.5.2-1 suffer from this bug? Based on your message I should think it would. I strongly advise against upgrading until the bug is fixed. It's compiled from the 2.5.2 sources found on rsync.samba.org one week ago, so I guess the answer is yes. I'll package a new version ASAP but in the meanwhile remember that Cygwin mirrors always have the last two version, so in the installer you have choice between 2.5.2-1 and 2.5.1-1. -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796) smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: How to setup Rsync as an NT Service
To create the install package described here you will need to obtain a copy of the NT Server or Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit. There are many sources for these utilities. Perhaps the easiest is to get the book and CD from any technical bookstore or online at http://www.amazon.com for as low as $35. Search for: The NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit Supplement 4 Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit I suggest to add a paragraph to use cygrunsrv instead of srvany as any CygWin user can download it easily =) (as in: cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config /etc/rsync.conf --daemon') BTW: whats' wrong in a plaineasy CygWin's precompiled rsync?

Re: using rsync to backup windows workstations
While I appreciate the GPL, I don't think it makes much sense in this case. Why provide source to compile your own cygwin when it's publically available in many places already? Likewise for rsync. Wasn't a simple hyperlink to the original sources on your page and in a README sufficient? After all everyone have some access to internet nowadays, having an URL is very much like having the file itself. Just my 2 cents, but I am no lawyer and cannot comprehend all the implications of GPL, tough I read it many times. A problem remains: wherever you have a full cygwin or not, you're usnig bash or not... you must use cygwin posix command line, so that using rsync alone is not that much a good idea IMHO... Go figure that C:\WinnT\sYsTem32 is called /cygdrive/c/WINTT/system32... At the moment, it's get everything, or you're on your own. That will change in the very near future. Anyway the new setup it under its way (setup has now a new mantainer, thanks Robert) and it WILL definitely support required packages for each package, so that an user that only needs rsync just selects rsync and it will auto-install zlib an all that is required (in fact I must install on a clean system to check what is actually needed just today). P.S.: maybe we are a bit too much off topic... -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796)
Re: using rsync to backup windows workstations
As officially I'm the mantainer of cygwin's rsync package I feel I must add something.. 0=) a) rsync binaries for win32/cygwin are now available from the binaries section of the rsync web pages, maintained by someone at redhat I think Maintained by me, I don't work for redhat, and sadly I have a bit too little time to maintain it as I should... b) the version attached is so old that you really shouldn't attempt to use it. Get the latest CVS version and add Wayne Davison's patches (see mailing list archives), in particular for use with Windoze systems, then compile it yourself with cygwin ...but not so little not to compile it with Wayne's patches (actual patch is the latest anti-hang available at the date of the release of cygwin's rsync-2.4.6-2 package) ;-) If there's some patch that I missed (I read this mailing list since when I began to mantain that package, but reading only headers of most messages maybe I missed something...) please point it to me and I'll release a new verison shortly =) Please note that I'm not an expert programmer of rsync, just a person that likes and uses it (and wants maybe to become such an expert, btw): in cygwin one package can't exist in the distribution if there's not a mantainer... so I hope that the effort I put in it is not wasted, even if it's maybe not enough... [I've got a bit of guild for that eheh] c) it's easy to compile under cygwin, and cygwin is easy to install, so I strongly recommend doing that That's true, it compiles out-of-the box. The main problem is that in winsocks if the socket is closed a RST is sent, not flushing the cache. This creates many errors at the end of trasnfer, especially in the daemon mode (which is not addressed by the patch I used, I bet). d) also install openssh which compiles cleanly under cygwin and is much more reliable than the ssh that is attached here Compiles cleanly and is available as a binary. If anyone wants to ask some more question.. feel free, even if I don't know nothing special about it, as I said I had not had the time to completely study and understand rsync source...

CygWin 2Gb (64bit) support
CygWin currently doesn't support 64 bit files at all, so it's completely normal if cygwin-compiled rsync has problems over 2Gb... See the TO-DO list: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cygwin-todo.cgi?20010220.112145 Or search the mailing list: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg00889.html They basically say: there's no current support for 64 bit file lenghts, patch are welcome as long as they don't break anything C ya -- Lapo Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796)

rsync package available for CygWin
Hi! I just wanted you to know that I'm now the official rsync for cygwin package mantainer. Actually on cygwin mirrors can be downloaded package rsync-2.4.6-2[-src].tar.bz which is standard rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz as found on rsync.samba.org with Wayne's first patch aplpied (it solves a read error problem in cygwin port). I've tested it and it seems to work ok (both with cygwin and linux server and client, using ssh or not), but rsync uses and options are too many to let me say I've tested it thoroughly.

Re: rsync / OpenSSH hang under cygwin....
When I try to sync using ssh back to the same machine or to another machine, the sync always hangs in the same place I've tried syncing various directories and each directory always hangs on the same file file in each directory... Any clues? It works for me (just the same environment: Win2k sp2 rsync2.4.6 openssh2.9p1) except that nasty read error: Connection reset by peer when sending FROM the Win2k machine. What have you used to put sshd in place? I'm currently using srvany as when I installed it cygrnusvc didn't exist. Maybe some security problem? Do you use CYGWIN=ntsec?
