I'm going to ask a question. I could ask chatgpt. I could Google it. I am asking a question because it is human to do so.
Ubuntu's packaged rsync, is it Samba rsync? Why reimplement it?
- hideout_berlin 4mo agosamba is different topic
- eichin 4mo agoit's tridge rsync; samba is another project by the same guy. (rsync was originally a PhD thesis...)
- bombcar 4mo agotridge is mighty in the Linux world, he arguably greatly contributed to Linux as a server (via Samba to save on windows NT client user licenses), rsync, and IIRC reverse-engineering the bitlocker protocol thereby starting the gitstorm.
- tredre3 4mo agoUbuntu's rsync is samba rsync. It's not part of the samba project per se, but it is made by the same guy and the official url is https://rsync.samba.org/ https://rsync.samba.org/ so it's entirely fair to call it samba rsync in my opinion.
