[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / checksum-updating.diff

This adds a sender optimization feature that allows a cache of checksums
to be used when the client specifies the --checksum option, and creates
and/or updates the .rsyncsums files when --checksum-updating is
specified.

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

    patch -p1 <patches/checksum-updating.diff
    ./configure                               (optional if already run)
    make

 file that has the same size as the corresponding sender's file:  files with
 either a changed size or a changed checksum are selected for transfer.
 
+Starting with version 3.0.0, the sending side will look for a checksum
+summary file and use a pre-generated checksum that it reads out of the file
+(as long as it matches the file's size and modified time).  This allows a
+server to support the --checksum option to clients without having to
+recompute the checksums for each client.  See the bf(--checksum-updating)
+option for a way to have rsync create/update these checksum files.
+
 Note that rsync always verifies that each em(transferred) file was
 correctly reconstructed on the receiving side by checking a whole-file
 checksum that is generated when as the file is transferred, but that
 automatic after-the-transfer verification has nothing to do with this
 option's before-the-transfer "Does this file need to be updated?" check.
 
+dit(bf(--checksum-updating)) This option tells the sending side to create
+and/or update per-directory checksum files that are used by the
+bf(--checksum) option.  The file that is updated is named .rsyncsums.  If
+pre-transfer checksums are not being computed, this option has no effect.
+
+The checksum files stores the computed checksum, last-known size,
+modification time, and name for each file in the current directory.  If a
+later transfer finds that a file matches its prior size and modification
+time, the checksum is assumed to still be correct.  Otherwise it is
+recomputed and udpated in the file.
+
+To avoid transferring the system's checksum files, you can use an exclude
+(e.g. bf(--exclude=.rsyncsums)).  To make this easier to type, you can use
+a popt alias.  For instance, adding the following line in your ~/.popt file
+defines a bf(-cc) option that enables checksum updating and excludes the
+checksum files:
+
+verb(  rsync alias --cc --checksum-updating --exclude=.rsyncsums)
+
+An rsync daemon does not allow the client to control this setting, so see
+the "checksum updating" daemon config option for information on how to make
+a daemon maintain these checksum files.
+
 dit(bf(-a, --archive)) This is equivalent to bf(-rlptgoD). It is a quick
 way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve almost
 everything (with -H being a notable omission).
