librsync forks

Quite a day for librsync;

I went through the process to import librsync (with revision history
from CVS) into git. Hopefully someone finds this useful:
https://github.com/pauloppenheim-liveloop/librsync

I have also released a fork which includes patches for a Windows build
using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008:
https://github.com/pauloppenheim-liveloop/librsync-winbuild

There appear to be a number of projects using librsync still:
https://github.com/search?q=librsync&type=Repositories

Coincidentally, also released today, a fork by Dropbox (lacking proper
history / patchset export, sadly):
https://github.com/dropbox/librsync

so, thanks for the library!

Re: Newbie on lib rsync, Hellp, anyone home?

Thanks Dave.

I'll study the code first and try to see what I can do with it. :)

Newbie on lib rsync, Hellp, anyone home?

Dear List,

I found that librsync is quite an old project. I wanna know, if there is
anyone home?

:) Cause, I wanna do something about it. Thanks.

any chance to revive this ..

Hello,

just wondering why this project is so dead. Great work has been done .. 
as it seems over years, to get a great algorithm into a library format 
and there were/are some ideas floating around related to this library. 
Still it is stuck at beta and doesn't appear to make the 1.0 release in 
near future. And using idle CPU power to accelerate network backup / 
data transfer should be an ever hot topic, at least where performance is 
bottlenecked by bandwidth.

rsync is extremely popular at university and in the hpc sector, to 
synchronise fileservers, machines cross campus, cluster nodes from the 
master or to run disk backups. A portable library which exposes the 
rsync algorithm makes a lot of sense to me.

 From my perspective, librsync lacks a revision and an updated docu 
rather more than any additional features. Personally, I would like to 
use librsync multi-platform and  "hacked" a version together which 
compiles a .dll under windows. The API does the trick for me, and I can 
connect network or file streams to the internal buffer structure. I 
don't need any fancy higher level stuff, which can be implemented in a 
different language, but I'd  (selfishly) wish that the core 
functionality would be better maintained and documented.

I hope this doesn't come accross as criticism, as I genuinely respect 
the work that has been done here.  

Joachim

As soon as someone gets around to it... I'm pretty busy these days but
it is hanging around on my todo list.

I didn't even realise I had one hanging around

The bad news is I nolonger have access to a win32 development
environment.

I've actually been neglecting it pretty badly... I'm always keen to add
more developers to this project so that there are more people to keep it
kicking on... let me know if you want devel access to do things like
release 0.9.8

I am reachable, just very short of time and hence slow to respond...

I still do minor things when prompted like list admin, but I probably 
don't have time to do a release right now... so if someone else could do 
it that would be great. Have a look at the end of README.CVS for a rough 
checklist of things to do for a release.

On this particular issue, I've not been keeping up much, but I vaugely 
recall that there was some ambiguity if the problem was fixed after the 
patch went in (see bug #1110812). However, the patch #1439412 definitely 
fixed one problem and is worth a release for.

Boy, SF is pretty flakey ATM... it is giving me intermittent 500's. I'll 
have a bit of a poke around at the source and see if there are any quick 
things I can do to prepare for a release...

Need librsync-devel source

I am installing rdiff-backup which needs librsync-devel-0.9.7.
Can someone point me to a download link? There are some links that seem 
to be for x86 but I need to build this for  s390 (IBM mainframe).
