-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2004-0026 Package name: rsync Summary: fixes a --relative option (-R) in 2.6.1 Date: 2004-05-07 Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 Trustix Secure Linux 2.1 Trustix Secure Enterprise Linux 2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring remote and host files into sync. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network (instead of sending the complete files). Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this package. Problem description: rsync 2.6.1 introduced a bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative is used for some sources (just sources such as "/" and "/*" were affected). This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list item when requesting changes from the sender. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded. Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your system.
