#61257 assigned defect

rsync @3.2.3_0: hard-link of symbolic link fails with --link-dest on macOS HFS+ file system (works on APFS)

Reported by: fabianwenk (Fabian Wenk) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.3
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: rsync

Description

This is just as reference if somebody else is running into the same problem. I have already reported it upstream, see https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/issues/107

Maybe there is a "hotfix" possible out of MacPorts build to temporary revert the feature to hard-link of symbolic links.

If the developers of rsync can fix the problem, then sure we can apply that fix to MacPorts.
