           Summary: Patch for specifying zlib compression level
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: stix at stix.homeunix.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Attached is a patch against HEAD to enable an optional compression level when
using --compress. Tested on NetBSD, running against both same version and stock
2.6.3 on the remote end, over ssh.

This uses the "feature" that popt will ignore option arguments it isn't
requested to parse. eg. Older rsyncs will happily run with the option
"--compress=1".

Note, to support the syntax "--compress 1" (ie, space separated), a patch to
popt is required, available from
