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?
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.
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-3.x.git;a=blob;f=rsync/rsync.nm;h=528dcfc0a... https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-3.x.git;a=blob;f=zstd/zstd.nm;h=e5afd342b9a...
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!?
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.
