#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):
The patch is good to apply if it has been tested. (I have not tested it myself.) Essentially, we need to make sure that (a) it still uses the new features if available, and (b) it correctly falls back to the old features if they are not.
I would also reduce the warning to an information, since there are no correctness problems with an old rsync, and in many cases people won't care that much about sync performance. (And those who do will read the output, or should be punished for not doing so.)
