I added it as a patch in the specfile and built an RPM. I see now in the archives (as you say, sparse and hard to search) that you wrote much the same in August. And back in 2011. I also found Derek's post on Dec 04 2012 saying that he won't support the rsync patch, but that most vendors have it in their RPM packages. Yum is broken on our old CentOS 3 machine so the easy way didn't work, but it's in EPEL for Centos5 and 6. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time) |
