Please don't bother -the zlib authors with problems related to the use of zlib in rsync as -any bugs are likely to be our fault and not theirs. - -Specific changes that have been made to zlib for rsync include: - -- add Z_INSERT_ONLY to allow for efficient history updating without - actually emitting any data. This is used to compress the matched - blocks that don't cross the wire, which gives better compression - ratios on the literal data. - -- fixed a number of minor compilation issues. (redefinition of MAX and - other such trivial things) - -- include rsync.h to ensure that we get a consistent set of includes - for all C code in rsync and to take advantage of autoconf - -As a result of the first item, the streams from rsync's version of -zlib are *not compatible* with those produced by the upstream version -of rsync. In other words, if you link rsync against your system's -copy, it will not be able to interoperate with any other version if -the -z option is used. (Sorry. Sometimes standard is better than -better.) - -The rsync maintainers hope to fix this problem in the future by either -merging our changes into the upstream version, or backing them out of -rsync in a way that preserves wire compatibility. But in the meantime -this version must be maintained in parallel. - |
