Somebody else has written another tool called "xdelta" http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta which uses the rsync algorithm and may do what you want. - Dave Dykstra On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 03:10:20PM -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Dave, > > Unfortunately I don't do much coding so I don't think I'm the "right" guy > for this job.

Re: rsync with -ls option
Dave, Unfortunately I don't do much coding so I don't think I'm the "right" guy for this job. I'd like to see the emails tho, MAYBE I can cook something up. I was actually thinking about making the "report" even more sexy by what I call the "rdiff" function. Rsync compares files now and might be able to make pipes to diff? Of course binaries would not be eligible. What do you think? Regards, George...

Re: rsync with -ls option
A long time ago somebody volunteered to improve the --log-format and -n options to work for those kind of situations but he never did them. So we're waiting for a new volunteer. If somebody else is interested in doing them I could dig up the old emails where we discussed some of the design. - Dave Dykstra On Sat, Mar 02, 2002 at 06:30:45AM -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Howdy, > > I'm trying to get a report from rsync using the -n option which will > produce a report of files that are different in a ls -al kind of style so > one could analyze what's different before possibly clobering a good file. > > Is this possibly in the works or does anyone have any ideas on how this > might be done.

rsync with -ls option
Howdy, I'm trying to get a report from rsync using the -n option which will produce a report of files that are different in a ls -al kind of style so one could analyze what's different before possibly clobering a good file. Is this possibly in the works or does anyone have any ideas on how this might be done. It seems like a useful option to rsync to have.
