- rzzzt 9y agofeelix is probably thinking of transferring an rsync binary first, when it is not available on the remote end.
- tiernano 9y agoHow would you easily figure out which version to install? Having a requirement of rsync already installed on the box sounds reasonable, compared to having x86, x64, arm32, arm64, and the rest binaries in the client download...
- scintill76 9y agoAnd that's not counting different OS's, different dependencies such as libc. In my opinion those things would be far out of scope for this project.
- therein 9y agoI agree that it is beyond the scope of this project but a statically linked (with musl libc) rsync would be possible. Like these guys: http://sta.li/ http://sta.li/
- bonhardcomp 9y agoNice. Am gonna be doing this.
