| 8 | Cross-test versions |
| 9 | |
| 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. |

| 22 | Merge IPv6 support *** |
| 23 | |
| 24 | A patch is available at |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/rsync-244-v6-20000802.diff.gz |
| 27 | |
| 28 | but tridge reckons it needs to be cleaned up before it can be |
| 29 | accepted. |
| 30 | |
| 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 |
| 36 | |
| 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. |
