[Bug 257211] Re: please backport rsync 3 from Intrepid to Hardy

[Louis-Dominique Dubeau]

I'm glad work is being done on this.  It is really useful that 3.0.* be
backported to Hardy.  The protocol changed in 3.0.0.  If a rsync >=
3.0.0 tries to talk to a rsync <= 3.0.0 at the other end the
communication can fail.  I've had failures like:

2008/10/31 14:00:58 [19814] --acls requires protocol 30 or higher (negotiated 29).
2008/10/31 14:00:58 [19814] rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(195) [sender=3.0.3]

The sender runs Intrepid,  the receiver runs Hardy.

Having 3.0.* backported to Hardy will simplify management for
environments running Intrepid and Hardy side by side.
