Moved the xattr setting and added code to make sure that we set

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / xattrs.diff

This patch adds support for extended attributes.

To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    patch -p1 <patches/xattrs.diff
    ./prepare-source
    ./configure
    make

CAUTION:  this patch has been recently reworked, and needs more testing!
