- - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
- configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
- the newly patched feature.
+ - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
+ make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+ The xattrs patch also has some preliminary Mac OS X compatibility code
+ that allows Macs and non-macs to exchange extended attributes.
+
+ - A new diff in the patches dir, fake-root.diff, allows rsync to
+ maintain a backup hierarchy with full owner, group, and device info
+ without actually running as root. It does this using a special
+ extended attribute, so it depends on xattrs.diff (which depends on
+ acls.diff).
+
+ - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
+ better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
+
+ - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
