Hi,

rsync 3.2.0 is out and I just had time...for details see:
https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/src/rsync-3.2.0-NEWS

Right now running under Core 145 / x86_64. No problems.

But I still have two questions.

In order to use the new xxhash checksum support and zstd compression,
the corresponding kernel modules would need to be activated. Do we want
or need these?

For now, I disabled both with these configure options:

...
	--disable-xxhash \
	--disable-zstd
...

Do we want (would someone use) the new 'rsync-ssl'-script? On a firewall!?

Current capabilities:

***SNIP***
root(a)ipfire: /tmp # ./rsync --version
rsync  version 3.2.0  protocol version 31

You won’t need kernel modules for this. You simply need the relevant libraries.

I have packaged those for IPFire 3 and they are easy to build and have no further dependencies. So I would recommend to at least add zstd.

I tried to find out what this is useful for. It doesn’t harm us and calls openssl. So I would just leave it in there.

In fact, I'm at 3.2.1. See below.

Ok. I wasn't sure. I found some 'zstd's in the rootfiles and thought we
would need these.

I am at it.

Thats exactly what I needed - thanks - I'll take a look.

Ok.

Please note:

'rsync 3.2.1' just came out. I'm testing - and working on 'zstd 1.4.5'
(weekend, I think).

If you want, we could skip 3.2.0 => no need to merge this patch.

I could mark 3.2.0 as 'superseded' in patchwork and we'll go straight to
3.2.1.

Opinions?

Best,
Matthias

Yes, absolutely do that. There is no point in merging 3.2.0 if 3.2.1 is already under works.

Ok. Done.

Besides, I took a look. ;-)

Right now on my ToDo-list (compiling):

rsync 3.2.1 (Is it ok if I take over the build options of IPFire 3.0!?)

popt 1.18 (With 1.16, we're more than 9 years behind...)

And - "because it stood in my way":
ntp 4.2.8p15

And last but not least:
zstd 1.4.5

Best,
Matthias
