--- Comment #21 from Ralf Friedl
The 3.1.0 used only the "newcompress" while it broke the "oldcompress". That is useless for me. I have clients with older versions that use the old compress.
The package now in TW should be able to use both at once. Regardless if you use -z or -zz it should transmit. Requiring of course to have the new/old server on the other side. Technically your comment is true for the client side, as it will ignore oldcompress and just make an uncompressed connection. But the server side will abort if it has no support for oldcompress.
I had hoped based on the last comments that the new rsync would support both old and new compress. But that is not true. The new release 2.2 is exactly the same as 2.1, except for the release number of course. Same spec file, same sources, same patches, same build instructions, same result. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
