Hi,
This weekend a critical bug was reported on rsync (#306981). This has
been resolved after contact with upstream. This fix needs to go in, I've
prepared a 2.6.4-5 for that. I had already made some other changes which
aren't all that big; here's the changelog for 2.6.4-5:
* Fixed not backupping deleted files when --backup is used in combination
with --delete-after (this was considered a critical bug).
closes:#306981
* Removed spurious log.c.DEBIAN file from source (diff, actually).
* Removed old rsyncstats script from diff.
* Install rsyncstats script to /usr/sbin/.
* Fixed some typos in the man page.
closes:#305627
* Implemented a --min-size option.
closes#:27126
The version already in unstable (2.6.4-4) has some other quite important
fixes, however that didn't make it to sarge yet (2.6.4-2 is currently in
sarge). Here are the changelog entries for 2.6.4-3 and -4:
* Fix from upstream for incompatibility with older rsync versions when using
--exclude (and not --delete).
closes:#306368
* Added comment to /etc/default/rsync that the rsyncd.conf specified there
is not used when accessing the daemon via a remote shell.
closes:#298002
* Correctly report whether what we're not creating is a file or a directory.
closes:#142258
* Concat the upstream NEWS & OLDNEWS together as changelog instead of as-is.
closes:#306250
* assorted recommended patches from upstream, collected in debian/patches/
in the source package:
- fix for sending a single file with -H
- improper handling of --one-file-system in some cases
- --link-dest / --hard-links problem
- new hard-links in not-yet-created directories
What priority should I give the -5 upload, and to what distribution?
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
