--dry-run now handshakes with a remote/daemon receiver and reports what
WOULD transfer/skip based on receiver state, mutating nothing on either
side.
- Serialize Config.dry_run into the wire config frame and append
STATUS_DRY_RUN_TRANSFER to the status enum (no renumbering); bump
PROTOCOL_VERSION/CMake VERSION/CHANGELOG/golden wire to 2.21.0.
- Receiver: receive_incremental_check_ex runs the normal read-only
decision and answers STATUS_OK (skip) or STATUS_DRY_RUN_TRANSFER
(would transfer) with no basis materialization/append/delta/full
transfer. All mutation sites are guarded by !dry_run: file store,
manifest deletes, --mkpath root creation, --delay-updates staging,
publication, directory-time application, and outcome acks.
- Client: send_dry_run_remote connects, sends the config, checks each
regular file and prints the would-transfer set + trailer; no file data
or delete manifest is sent. Plain local destinations keep the
client-side manifest.
- A6: escape attacker-controlled file paths and the receive root in log
lines (file_receive, server, protocol DEBUG) with output_escape()
- A8: identity_set_active() returns bool and fails closed when a requested
usermap/groupmap cannot be deep-copied; handler refuses the connection
- remove the const cast and duplicate super_mode clamp from
server_module_gate via an explicit override the handler applies once
- release the identity snapshot on the queue_create failure path
- refactor identity_parse_copy_as to a single cleanup tail and drop the
duplicated group error format specifier
Unit: manifest_delete_missing_args treats a deeper missing entry whose
destination parent directory does not exist as a no-op (run continues, nothing
created). Integration (TestMissingArgs): a deeper missing entry with an absent
parent -R bare and full-mirror layouts, single-threaded and -m, no longer
aborts --delete (the extras walk still removes an unrelated extra); --dirs +
--files-from with --ignore-missing-args skips a listed-but-missing entry and
transfers the rest.
Unit: CLI parse + imply relationships (delete-missing implies ignore, not
delete; valid with --delete and delete timing); delete_missing_args config wire
round-trip (ignore_missing_args confirmed client-only); three-section manifest
round-trip and third-section traversal rejection; manifest_delete_missing_args
exact-path semantics; commit-time parking. Existing two-section manifest frames
updated to the three-section format. Integration: default missing entry is a
hard pre-transfer error; --ignore-missing-args transfers the rest and succeeds
(all-missing transfers nothing; empty list still errors); --delete-missing-args
removes exactly the missing mirror and leaves unrelated extras unless --delete is
also present; filter-exclusion protection never blocks the explicit deletion;
--delete-before early timing composes; all parametrized single-threaded vs -m.
Unit: walker all-or-nothing bounds (exceeded -> nothing removed + distinct
result; exact bound -> deletes), protected-prefix skipping, config wire
round-trip for force_delete/delete_excluded/prune_empty_dirs/max_delete, CLI
parse/validation for the new flags. Integration (TestDeletePolicy): default
delete-excluded protection and --delete-excluded opt-out (single-thread, -m,
early --delete-before, excluded-dir subtrees), --max-delete all-or-nothing over
and at the limit, --force file-over-nonempty-dir replacement, --prune-empty-dirs
(--dirs mode + recursion-mode parity), and --ignore-errors keeping deletion
active across a genuine scan I/O error (run as an unprivileged user).
- Unit (leak guards): drive receiver_process_pending() past a parked keep-set
into STATUS_ABORT, EOF, and a second manifest frame; each must return -1 with
no manifest handed out. Verified leak-free under ASan.
- Unit: receive_status_timed reads a status and fails cleanly on EOF.
- Integration: test_late_flags_commit_only_after_success now parametrizes the
-m path, proving a failed -m late-timing run preserves every extra and that
the deferred manifest is dropped (never applied) when the writer fails.
Deletion timing is now real and selected by the four rsync flags plus the
plain --delete default. Wire protocol bumps to 2.8.0: two new config
booleans (delete_during, delete_delay) are serialized and validated, joining
the existing delete_before/delete_after.
- Early modes (--delete-before, --delete-during/--del): the sender pre-scans
the whole tree (paths only), transmits the keep-set manifest BEFORE any
file data, and the receiver removes extras and acks STATUS_OK; the sender
only streams data after the deletion committed. Deletion is thus performed
even if a later transfer phase fails (rsync delete-before/during are
destructive by definition). FastSync streams in a single scan so it cannot
interleave per-directory like rsync delete-during; --delete-during selects
the same engine mode as --delete-before (documented divergence).
- Late/commit modes (plain --delete, --delete-after, --delete-delay): the
manifest closes the data stream and deletion is committed only after
STATUS_FINISHED proves the whole transfer succeeded, preserving FastSync's
commit-style safety. --delete-delay converges with --delete-after because
FastSync never snapshots the destination during data flow (documented).
- The STATUS_MANIFEST frame is now self-delimiting and position-independent.
Single-threaded receivers delete before the success frame; the -m receiver
hands the keep-set to server.c, which commits the deletion only after the
disk writer thread has drained (fixes a delete-vs-in-flight-temp race).
- Every timing flag implies --delete; at most one timing flag is allowed.
- Each timing flag implies --delete, matching rsync; conflicts are rejected.
#251 --remove-source-files deletes sources that were skipped receiver-side
(--existing/--ignore-existing/--update). The receiver now reports a
per-file outcome for every processed data file when the sender requests
removal; the client only unlinks sources the receiver actually wrote.
add remove_source_files to the wire config and bump the protocol to 2.5.0.
#252 --backup/--suffix/--backup-dir broken by NULL-vs-empty wire loss. Receivers
canonicalize the empty wire string back to NULL for backup_dir, temp_dir,
partial_dir and suffix, and --suffix is received unconditionally.
#253 --partial --partial-dir never installed completed files. file_save_to_disk
now renames a fully written partial-dir file into the real destination.
#255 STATUS_CHECK read the entire old file before the size/mtime quick check.
Old contents are only read when a checksum compare or delta needs them.
#256 receive_delta_file failure paths did not set *failed, so the caller sent
STATUS_NEXT and waited for a body that never came. Every NULL return now
marks the transfer failed.
#257 files >64 MiB could not transfer. Whole-file receive caps raised to the
256 MiB connection/allocation ceiling (chunk caps stay 64 MiB) and the
client ignores SIGPIPE so a server-side close surfaces as a clean error.
Unit tests added: config NULL-vs-empty round trip, incremental quick-check
skip/NEXT paths, delta oversize failure, partial-dir install, save-result
skip reporting.
