Hi,
rsync 3.2.0 is out and I just had time...
In fact, I'm at 3.2.1. See below.
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.
Ok. I wasn't sure. I found some 'zstd's in the rootfiles and thought we would need these.
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 am at it.

Thats exactly what I needed - thanks - I'll take a look.
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.
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I could mark 3.2.0 as 'superseded' in patchwork and we'll go straight to 3.2.1.
Yes, absolutely do that. There is no point in merging 3.2.0 if 3.2.1 is already under works.

Opinions?
