The latest rsync change disables xattr when there is no lgetxattr()
function.
There is however, an option of the getxattr function to act on the
symlink.
XATTR_NOFOLLOW do not follow symbolic links. getxattr() normally
returns information from the target of path if
it is a
symbolic link. With this option, getxattr()
will return
extended attribute data from the symbolic link
instead.
Is it possible to have xattr support back for Mac OSX.
