  1. 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:

    codeberg.org/ChibaPet/openrsyn

    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.

    #codeberg #rsync #openrsync

  2. 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.
