- Updated to apply over the new ACL patch.

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

Depends-On-Patch: acls.diff

After applying this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    ./prepare-source
    ./configure --enable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
    make

TODO:

 - This patch needs to be rewritten to more efficiently handle large xattrs.

 - We need to affect the itemized output to know when xattrs are being updated.

 - We need to affect the --link-dest option to avoid hard-linking two files
   that differ in their xattrs (when --xattrs was specified).
