Thanks. > Well, since showing the progress bar is the main and only use of gtkrsync, I consider it broken. Please note that this is *not* grsync, which is a graphical frontend to build an rsync command line. Gtkrsync is meant to be called from scripts as a drop-in-replacement to rsync and show a progress bar during the rsync run. Currently, gtkrsync just pops up and sits there until rsync is done. >>> I have also contacted the original maintainer of gtkrsync one month ago, >>> but got no reply. >>> > > A good thing to do - please do note that in the bug report so people are > aware that an upstream solution is unlikely to be forthcoming. > I did so. > As gtkrsync is in Debian (and moreso since there are no Ubuntu-specific > changes), the best way to proceed is to file the bug report in the > Debian BTS, and discuss fix vs. remove with the Debian maintainer. > > Whichever option is chosen, Ubuntu can then sync. > Agreed, I'll file a report in Debian.
