fix (using autoconf) will be submitted to the rsync maintainers for a
future release.

Bump package revision because of that.

- Fixed a major bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative
is used for some sources (probably just "/", but don't depend on
that). This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list item
when requesting changes from the sender.
- Rsync now checks the return value of the close() function to
better report disk-full problems on an NFS file system.
- Paths sent to an rsync daemon are more thoroughly sanitized when
chroot is not used. If you're running a non-read-only rsync
daemon with chroot disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the
user privs you run rsync under is anything above "nobody".
- Lower memory use, more optimal transfer of data over the socket,
and lower CPU usage (see the INTERNAL section for details).
- The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
(Bardur Arantsson)
- The --progress output now mentions how far along in the transfer
we are, including both a count of files transferred and a
percentage of the total file-count that we've processed. It also
shows better current-rate-of-transfer and remaining-transfer-time
values.
- The configure script now accepts --with-rsyncd-conf=PATH to
override the default value of the /etc/rsyncd.conf file.
- Added a couple extra diffs in the "patches" dir, removed the ones
that got applied, and rebuilt the rest.
- Documentation changes now attempt to describe some often mis-
understood features more clearly.
- When -x (--one-file-system) is combined with -L (--copy-links) or
--copy-unsafe-links, no symlinked files are skipped, even if the
referent file is on a different filesystem.
- The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user when
(1) the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -o was
specified, or (2) when the group of the source can't be used on
the destination and -g was specified.
- Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might cause
the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to get
overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
- We now reset the "new data has been sent" flag at the start of
each file we send. This makes sure that an interrupted transfer
with the --partial option set doesn't keep a shorter temp file
than the current basis file when no new data has been transfered
over the wire for that file.
- Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian machines.
(Jay Fenlason)
- Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
- Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
- When using --cvs-exclude, the exclude items we get from a
per-directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
directory (not all following directories too). The items are also
now properly word-split and parsed without any +/- prefix parsing.
- When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER part
can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@' is used to
find the HOST, not the first).
- Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root users:
(1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't have a name
for (it would previously skip changing the group on any files in
that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used, rsync no longer
attempts to set groups that the user doesn't have the permission
to set.
- Fixed the "refuse options" setting in the rsyncd.conf file.
- Improved the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any mount-
point directories we encounter. It is both more optimal (in that
it no longer does a useless scan of the contents of the mount-
point dirs) and also fixes a bug where a remapped mount of the
original filesystem could get discovered in a subdir we should be
ignoring.
- Rsync no longer discards a double-slash at the start of a filename
when trying to open the file. It also no longer constructs names
that start with a double slash (unless the user supplied them).
- Path-specifying options to a daemon should now work the same with
or without chroot turned on. Previously, such a option (such as
--link-dest) would get its absolute path munged into a relative
one if chroot was not on, making that setting fairly useless.
Rsync now transforms the path into one that is based on the
module's base dir when chroot is not enabled.
- Fixed compilation problem on Tru64 Unix (having to do with
sockaddr.sa_len and sockaddr.sin_len).
- Fixed a compatibility problem interacting with older rsync
versions that might send us an empty --suffix value without
telling us that --backup-dir was specified.
- The "hosts allow" option for a daemon-over-remote-shell process
now has improved support for IPv6 addresses and a fix for systems
that have a length field in their socket structs.
- Fixed the ability to request an empty backup --suffix when sending
files to an rsync daemon.

Major changes since 2.5.7:
* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
27. (J.W. Schultz)
* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
* Many bug-fixes.

Changes:
- follow PKG_SYSCONFDIR
- fix paths in manpages
- minor cleanups
2.5.6:
======
ENHANCEMENTS:
=============
- The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
Zimmerman)
- Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
- The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
destination field.
- If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
- New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
(J.W. Schultz)
- Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
- Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
Middleton)
- Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
And "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
- Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
- Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
(Dave Dykstra)
BUG FIXES:
==========
- Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
- Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
- Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
- Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
- Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
- Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
broken. (Dave Dykstra)
- Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
(Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
- Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
- Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
INTERNAL:
=========
- Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
- More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
- Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
(Jos Backus)
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)

- Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew
Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
- Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus)
(Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can
not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
- Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool)

|
|
- Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
#132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
- Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
CAN-2002-0059)
- Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
- Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
"unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
- Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
- Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
- Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
slash.
- Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
- Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
to parse the output.
- Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
- Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
- If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
print an error message. (Colin Walters)

rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
SECURITY FIXES:
* Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
<krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
careful about reading integers from the network.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix possible string mangling in log files.
* Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
* Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
* Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
* Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
ENHANCEMENTS:
* With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
connection.
* --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
support mallinfo().
* "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
* Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
* New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
|
|
* native IPv6 support
* bug fixes
* --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate
* --no-detach option
* clearer error messages for some conditions
