READ THIS BEFORE TRYING TO DYNAMICALLY LINK RSYNC AND ZLIB!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zlib has been adapted slightly for use in rsync. 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.
