#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):
Updating is not a general solution -- we have to work with whatever is available on the given systems, and many don't have rsync 3 yet. We will either have to disable this altogether, or test the rsync version and use a sensible fallback if rsync is too old.
Instead of explicitly testing rsync's version, we can just call rsync, and if it fails, call it again with a reduced set of options.
