Rsync does not support this, without a patch. This patch works fine in linux, and applies correctly in Cygwin, but I am unable to get Cygwin past the ./configure stage. I have applied the patch to the rsync source, and run ./configure --with-acl-support=yes. There is a failure during configure that is killing acl support ---> Checking whether to support ACLS... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... no checking for ACL support... no I suppose my question for the list is, is the POSIX acl support in Cygwin complete enough that this should work, or am I wasting my time? If anyone knows a way around this, I would be most appreciative.
