URGENT ---------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------

Cross-test versions

Part of the regression suite should be making sure that we don't

break backwards compatibility: old clients vs new servers and so

on. Ideally we would test the cross product of versions.

It might be sufficient to test downloads from well-known public

rsync servers running different versions of rsync. This will give

some testing and also be the most common case for having different

versions and not being able to upgrade.

NICE -----------------------------------------------------------------

Merge IPv6 support ***

A patch is available at

ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/rsync-244-v6-20000802.diff.gz

but tridge reckons it needs to be cleaned up before it can be

accepted.

This is now on the track-kameipv6 branch and can be moved across any

time. The KAME people say that it should work on machines without

IPv6 stacks.

rsyncsh

Write a small emulation of interactive ftp as a Pythonn program

that calls rsync. Commands such as "cd", "ls", "ls *.c" etc map

fairly directly into rsync commands: it just needs to remember the

current host, directory and so on. We can probably even do

completion of remote filenames.
