This patch adds a new option: --fake-super, which tells rsync to copy in a
fake super-user mode that stores various file attributes in an extended-
-attribute value instead of as real file-system attributes. The items
-affected are:
+attribute value instead of as real file-system attributes. See the changes
+to the manpages for details.
- mode the real mode of a file is always (666 & umask) while
- the real mode of a directory is always (777 & umask).
-
- rdev devices and special files are created as zero-length
- normal files.
-
- uid the real owner is always left unchanged.
-
- gid the real group is always left unchanged.
-
-A daemon can set "fake super = yes" in the rsync.conf file for any module
-that you'd like to run without root perms while pretending it has them (the
-client cannot affect this).
-
-The --fake-super option only affects the side where the option is used. To
-affect the remote side of a remote-shell connection, specify an rsync path:
-
- rsync -av --rsync-path='rsync --fake-super' /src/ host:/dest/
+After applying this patch, run these commands for a successful build:
-For a local copy where you want to affect only one side or the other,
-you'll need to turn the copy into a remote copy to localhost.
+ ./prepare-source
+ ./configure --enable-xattr-support
+ make
-After applying this patch, run these commands for a successful build:
+or, if you want ACL support too:
./prepare-source
- ./configure
+ ./configure --enable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
make
