The version number shown by setup indicates that the maintainer built the package from a snapshot of the upstream git repository rather than from a stable release. The maintainer chose this version number, presumably to indicate that the snapshot was made on 2020-04-29 after git commit f7746d0. > For that installed version, `rsync --version` says the version is 3.2.0dev That version number is determined by the upstream rsync developers, and it indicates that the build is based on a snapshot of the development branch for a future 3.2.0 release. (This is what Andrey was saying.) The latest stable release, 3.1.3, is two years old. I'm sure Jari had good reasons for wanting to make a more recent version available. Ken
