#461: Filter rules error when using rsync 2.6.9 -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
Many HPC systems run older versions of rsync. Many also run Python 2.3. We need to support these. rsync 2.6.9 is a very common version. Mind that omitting the "-p" option etc. works fine -- the only drawback is that we see ten or twenty warning messages when we sync. That is a small price to pay for supporting these systems.
Remember also IBM AIX systems, where the patch command is from 1988... we're dealing with these systems as well.
