Re: Can a new release be created?

[David D. <dd...@gm...>]

I may have discovered another bug, and I apologize in advance for not
digging into it more, and for polluting this thread.  When I ran on top of
my rather old encrypted copy, after compiling with the delete bug fixed, I
noticed that the size was *significantly* larger than it should be, on the
order of double or more what I was expecting.  Now I had cleaned out the
source dir quite a bit, so I suspect that not everything was properly
deleted.  A quick check at the file counts showed the encrypted directory
had nearly 4x the file count of the source dir.

Unfortunately, this made it a no-go for me to resume using rsyncrypto.  For
now I've migrated to using a fuse encrypted filesystem instead (gocryptfs
in my case, since I needed something with reverse mode for feeding into
rsync).  With the fuse option it means I don't need to preserve an
encrypted copy of the data on disk, which rather significantly outweighs
any of the drawbacks.  As such, I can't see myself moving back to
rsyncrypto anytime soon, unless someone can point out something I might be
missing?

Best,
David Diepenbrock
