#openrsync

I need to write to the author and see if there's any chance he wants to support Codeberg more directly, but for now I've cloned the openrsync repository into my Codeberg space:

https://codeberg.org/ChibaPet/openrsync

I'll try to stay on top of updates. This will be an unmodified copy, but as with any code, be careful what you trust.

Huh, looks like there is a #openrsync package in the #FreeBSD packages — slop-free #rsync implementation, using in the #OpenBSD.

I'm using rsync to make backups of my valuable files to the USB drive (so this program should work without problems and should be written by people who see programming as an art and could be accountable for their code), and also for copying files in Dired.

Using openrsync for #Emacs Dired is pretty simple — just point the dired-rsync package to the right binary, like:

(setopt dired-rsync-command "/usr/local/bin/openrsync")

UPD: Also the (setopt dired-rsync-options "-a") is necessary too.

I used #openrsync for the first time today to back up my #OpenBSD user files.

It is pretty much a drop-in replacement for rsync, and openrsync is part of the OpenBSD base system.

macOS 15.4 中 rsync 被換成 OpenRsync

主要是看到「Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia (derflounder.wordpress.com)」這邊的消息，macOS 15.4 的更新中，rsync 被換成 OpenRsync 了：「rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia」。 macOS 的 rsync 一直維持 2007 年的 2.x 版，主要的原因是後來變成 GPLv3 了，而 OpenRsync 是 OpenBSD 團體弄出來的版本，使用 BSD licenses。 OpenRsync 畢竟是重寫一套出來，可以預期會有相容性問題，再加上 OpenRsync 本來就沒打算做到完全相容，但基本與常見的功能都有實作出來，算是堪…

Oh dear, #Apple has done the unthinkable and swapped rsync for #openrsync on #macOS Sequoia. 😱 Don't worry, #Unix #nerds, your world will still spin, albeit in slightly different syntactic circles. 🤓🎉 Meanwhile, millions of Mac users are blissfully unaware and continue synchronizing files using Safari. 🌐📁

Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

Rsync updated on my OpenBSD 7.6-stable system, and I didn't even notice.

I should be trying openrsync, which I only recently learned exists.

#OpenBSD #rsync #openrsync

What is this #openrsync nonsense that Apple appear to have replaced the real rsync with in the latest #macOS?

I used to be able to "rsync host:" and browse around the remote file system to find the directories I wanted to sync. This version doesn't appear to support that, despite proclaiming "rsync version 2.6.9 compatible".

Thankfully we have #pkgsrc.

@RL_Dane @mjgardner @benjaminhollon Tridge is the man, for sure, rsync is a masterpiece, one of my very favorite CLI tools. I have real doubts about anyone doing better in a clean room type rewrite, but I also have doubts the #OpenBSD #openrsync replacement author isn't peeking now and then. Not a criticism, but sometimes you have to cheat just a bit, lol. Though OBSD have great developers, top notch, they solve problems with tiny group (50 devs?) billion dollar companies can't solve.
