I forgot to check --force-change but this didn't help either.

I googled around and found http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/patches/fileflags.diff

... which doesn't seem to work on the current(?) sources:

root at daemon:/usr/ports/net/rsync# make extract
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found

===>   rsync-3.0.2_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found

Overriding the patch from the distfile with the patch from the web:
root at daemon:/usr/ports/net/rsync# wget -O /data/tmp/usr/ports/net/rsync/work/rsync-3.0.2/patches/fileflags.diff http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/patches/fileflags.diff

But this patch doesn't match the current(?) sources:

root at daemon:/usr/ports/net/rsync# make patch
===>  Patching for rsync-3.0.2_1
===>   rsync-3.0.2_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found
===>  Applying extra patch

1 out of 4 hunks failed--saving rejects to util.c.rej
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/net/rsync.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/rsync.

The two distfiles are
MD5 (rsync-3.0.2.tar.gz) = fd4c5d77d8cb7bb86ab209076fa214d9
MD5 (rsync-patches-3.0.2.tar.gz) = c076661c447ddc165f4ff427e7264a31

Does anyone know if there's a way to rsync hardlinks on immutable files?
Wayne Davison? Rolf Grossmann? Anyone else?

Help would be greatly appreciated.
