Hi Tony,

> fileflags and crtimes and hfs-compression patches applied

That should do it. It comes up perfect for me on the Bbouncer tests with those three patches. Mike will speak for himself, but He has done some tweaking with other patches he made to customize the build for Carbon Copy Cloner. There is the "no dot dot" patch which I am not sure was applied to the 3.0.9 rsync. I include it because of some network issues with crazy replicating of hidden files. It patches fine.


Sorry - I forgot the name of who did this one. Let me know if this is now included in 3.0.9, Wayne, or other notables.

best,  Rob


here is the no dot patch:

 	 * NAME_MAX needs an extra -1 for the name's leading dot. */
