There's a patch for that hang problem, on rsync mailing list, that solves that problems for unix version and incidentally solves cygwin's problems as well. It's a "working on", tough.. maybe we could use that to do a rsync-2.4.6-2, marking it as "experimental" in setup.exe Or maybe it's better to just wait that rsync finishes to develop 2.4.7, that will contain that patch? I tested it in various ways and it shouws no problems (it shows one problem less, actually), but I can't say I'm *really* sure it works perfectly. Anyway, the package is ready nonetheless at: http://www.lapo.it/tmp/rsync-2.4.6-2.tar.bz2 http://www.lapo.it/tmp/rsync-2.4.6-2-src.tar.bz2 -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini lapo AT lapo DOT it (PGP & X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796)
