Topic

Updated rsync packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The rsync tool is used to copy and synchronize files locally or across a
network. The rsync tool works very fast because it uses delta encoding and sends
just differences in files instead of whole files. Also, rsync can be used as a
powerful mirroring tool.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the rsync tool changed the file ownership after, not before,

setting security attributes. As a consequence, the security attributes on the
target were missing, and running the "rsync -X" command did not work correctly
under certain circumstances. With this update, the order of the operations has
been switched, and rsync now changes the ownerships before setting the security
attributes. As a result, the security attributes are present as expected in the
described situation. (BZ#981797)

Users of rsync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
