Hello all,
I've been using cygwin for a long time but this is my first attempt at
this process so please be gentle :)
I noticed that the current rsync package (3.2.3+20200903+git9f9240b-4)
is trailing on security updates and also still using the g-b-s method.
I pinged the listed maintainer directly last week asking if they were
planning to do any updates but have not heard back. I hope this was not
a faux pas as I didn't read until later that it's best to raise the
issue on the list first.
I've attempted to update the port here:
https://github.com/crd477/cygports/tree/main/rsync
The package files were built by doing:
cygport rsync.cygport prep compile test install package-test
cygport test reported the following:

Here is the reported feature comparison between the existing and updated
packages. This is one area where some things might need to be fixed
with the update.

Thanks in advance.
