8 | Cross-test versions | |

10 | Part of the regression suite should be making sure that we don't | |
11 | break backwards compatibility: old clients vs new servers and so | |
12 | on. Ideally we would test the cross product of versions. | |
13 | ||
14 | It might be sufficient to test downloads from well-known public | |
15 | rsync servers running different versions of rsync. This will give | |
16 | some testing and also be the most common case for having different | |
17 | versions and not being able to upgrade. | |

28 | but tridge reckons it needs to be cleaned up before it can be |
29 | accepted. | |

31 | This is now on the track-kameipv6 branch and can be moved across any | |
32 | time. The KAME people say that it should work on machines without | |
33 | IPv6 stacks. | |

35 | rsyncsh | |

37 | Write a small emulation of interactive ftp as a Pythonn program | |
38 | that calls rsync. Commands such as "cd", "ls", "ls *.c" etc map | |
39 | fairly directly into rsync commands: it just needs to remember the | |
40 | current host, directory and so on. We can probably even do | |
41 | completion of remote filenames. | |
