The real reason is the following test: configure:8272: checking whether to support extended attributes configure:8321: result: No extended attribute support found ...well, judging from configure lines 8272-8321 it seems rsync xattr support is only available in linux, darwin and freebsd. So, yes, that isn't "activating a switch" but rater "write a feature", which could be easy or difficult - I don't know enough about it right now to be the judge of that; definitely needs some more RTFM regarding xattrs on my side (and that needs time, which I have little on my hands, right now). As usual, the PTC principle applies there to have results faster. http://www.cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC --=20 Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ =E2=80=9CThere is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.=E2= =80=9D (Ken Olson, founder of DEC, 1977) --------------enig4EED79090A667C6C49329248 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 898 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJKsK68AAoJELBiMTth2oCD354P/jKFwuOyJ2HOuA6dCVxKQ3d5 6I1IYLMOEJtLqLhXN59foJjYFkpugIrSU9Q579cLoAhu5BL1iQTjWcfSfqML281R kFX2k12Pz7BMATwZjurng5OIpiYQgAk5QWUuH8xFfMq8u3PVKAFI/IOhVxwlM9DL yX/W5UoNt00YVPZyhzfOxJEDxft4ynX5QHm/zLP3/RjInBt5jbd8XxYeDhcEWdIv onqaFklmVtYV/hDGaZ7YSuNdOj7p+g6nCVbO+Go9q9+A0lMo+Tv/pllGRu+HdHtP Gkn1tlhYyr3ktF+YNr76ZkRtnYJilNXffJnhwCFE8CFeQdBGqyPXDJXpit6aQ5uM n76j8O9RrKLOox3DM+OsYhjj3sQBNAE3UD5mGnd8uDnppZDUr80bUEB2HdZHBk8v L0uojIdRDYAb11NwKtEo1pUlEjmYRa71GO5d9SMnKhOoaitNiqR4yy2PUT6PDtcw MFara1c336O5OLjpsh5vhnWl6cTWZYHRudGMHQ00CBtEY5eDwibH0wUeD0hAfOno pkVGskNkmq0DYTwDtgzW7z5lXOHpmhNY5DM8Pwxdzc8OuPVG8NEPZ6ivawVhEnIA 83ojvByPdxa7szNQ0na+6v/5dlLoYg/DzYjyaZkI83h/m9F37Q5SXw2iiVaCd0z2 5objtHVFn5iXvKJ0JI4V =oD4+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4EED79090A667C6C49329248--
