Fixed failing hunks.

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

This patch adds basic support for extended attributes.  It works, but there
are some things that still needs to be improved (see TODO list below).

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

    patch -p1 <patches/acls.diff
    patch -p1 <patches/xattrs.diff
    ./prepare-source
    ./configure --enable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
    make

Alternately, if you don't want ACL support, configure it this way:

    ./configure --enable-xattr-support

TODO:

 - This patch needs to more efficiently handle large xattrs, especially when
   they're unchanged.

 - Extraneous xattr values need to be removed from files that are not being
   recreated.

 - 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).
