This directory holds a few binaries for rsync that were created during the process of testing out its build compatibility. (See the end for info on the GitHub build files.) Most of these are missing features that require newer devel libraries, as I have no control over the configuration on most of the build hosts. This means that things like xxhash checksums & zstd compression are mostly missing. On the opposite side, at least one of the rsync binaries requires newer libraries than the default: the debian 10 x86_64 rsync requires that you enable "buster-backports" in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (at least temporarily) and install the latest libzstd1 package (at which point you can comment it out and do another "apt update" to get back to normal). The rsync binaries are NOT statically linked. I'm erring on the side of caution due to license concerns. Each tar file contains: usr/local/bin/rsync usr/local/bin/rsync-ssl usr/local/share/man/man1/rsync.1 usr/local/share/man/man1/rsync-ssl.1 usr/local/share/man/man1/rsyncd.conf.5 usr/local/share/doc/README.md usr/local/share/doc/NEWS.md usr/local/share/doc/COPYING GitHub CI builds ================ The GitHub CI has some downloads available, which are rebuilt daily and which have all the newest libraries (dynamically) linked in. Visit the rsync actions page and click on a recent scheduled build: https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/actions If you want to see how the build environment was setup, click on the "Workflow file" tab on that page and look for the "prep" & "configure" rules (in particular) for the platform you're interested in.
