Current: 1.6.0
2024/01/21, 1.6.0 ('College years') :
- fpsync: fix run resuming caused by empty OPT_TOOL_PATH in info file
(GH PR #44)
- fpart: add option -P (add parent directories when closing intermediate
partitions). Useful for fixing directory dates when parallelizing cpio(1)
or tar(1) jobs
- fpsync: enable fpart's option -P for 'cpio' and 'tar' tools. This finally
enables keeping directory modification times intact when parallelizing
cpio(1) and tar(1) jobs!
- fpart: fix 2 errors detected by Coverity Scan, see:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/fpart
- fpart: provide long options (for the most important ones)
- fpsync: fix off-by-n error when calculating ETA in SIGINFO handler
(fixes GH issue #48)
- fpsync: show transmitted files count / data size in final status
and SIGINFO handler (fixes GH issue #24)
- fpart: final summary now shows total number of parts created, as well as
total number of files packed and total resulting size
- fpart: add new hook variables: FPART_TOTALSIZE, FPART_TOTALNUMFILES and
FPART_TOTALNUMPARTS
- fpart: add post-run hook (option -R), triggered just before program exits
- fpsync: Limit useless log generation by removing empty log files
(see: https://sourceforge.net/p/fpart/discussion/general/thread/5d001d74b6/)
- fpsync: Facilitate tar tool change on Solaris-based OS
1.5.1
2022/06/22, 1.5.1 ('Feel the light') :
- fpsync: add source, destination and total elapsed time to the email
report (GH PR #41)
- fpsync: add option -T to specify absolute path of copy tool (GH PR #42)
- fpsync: output cleanups
1.5.0
2022/06/02, 1.5.0 ('Rebirth') :
- added 'make_release.sh' script to automate release tarball creation
- embedded fts: check errors from readdir() (GH issue #37)
- fpart: re-enable large files support on GNU/Linux
(fixes Debian bug #834328)
- fpart: start numbering partitions from '1' instead of '0'.
Special partition '0' is now exclusively reserved for files that do not
fit in regular partitions when option '-s' *and* non-live mode are used.
Note for 3rd-party tools: that change may impact you!
(partly fixes GH issue #36)
- fpart: avoid returning an additional -empty- partition '1' when only
special partition '0' has been used
- fpart: avoid returning special partition '0' when it is empty
(partly fixes GH issue #36)
- fpart: add option -S to skip, in live mode, files that are bigger than
maximum partition size (see man page for more details, fixes GH issue #36)
- fpart: add FPART_PARTERRNO hook variable that contains 0 if every single
partition's entry has been fts_read() without error, else last erroneous
entry's errno (GH issue #37)
- fpart: add option -Z, used to isolate a failing directory alone within a
partition (GH issue #37)
- fpart: change display format when listing files to stdout:
"partition_index (file_size): file_path"
becomes:
"partition_index<tab>file_size<tab>file_path"
(GH issue #38)
- fpsync: add more checks for incompatible rsync options
- fpsync: force non-recursive rsync(1) in file-based mode
- fpsync: add aggressive mode option (-EE) to enable recursive
synchronization for erroneous directories (GH issue #37)
- fpsync: start all idle workers before refresh (GH PR #40)
- fpsync: rework child processes and SIGINT handling and fix missing display
of last jobs' completion status (inspired by GH PR #40)
1.4.0
2021/09/24, 1.4.0 ('Joining together') :
- fpsync: allow special characters and white spaces within fpart options
Allows something like: fpsync ... -O "-y|foo bar|-y|*.txt" /src/ /dst/
(fixes GH issue #33)
- fpsync: fix useless double call to sudo(1) in cpio(1) jobs
- fpsync: add support for 'tar' and 'tarify' tools
1.3.0
2021/05/08, 1.3.0 ('Cleaning room') :
- fpart: align get_size() and init_file_entries() behaviour and take
exclusions into account when computing a directory size.
- fpart: fix directory size computation when using options -y/-Y.
Before that change, -D and -E would have returned a size of 0 for a
directory included through options -y/-Y.
- fpart: fix detection of an unknown option
- fpart: various fixes on Darwin
- fpsync: mask broken pipe errors when dequeueing jobs (fixes GH issue #22)
- fpsync: fix bug where a job could remain resumable forever under certain
conditions.
- fpsync: fix detection of fpart exiting with errors
- fpsync: add prepare run option (-p)
- fpsync: add list runs options (-l)
- fpsync: add replay run option (-R)
- fpsync: add archive run option (-a)
Note for packagers: adds a new dependency to tar(1)
- fpsync: add delete run option (-D)
- fpsync: rework help and man page for clarification
- fpsync: add check for incompatible rsync option (--delete)
- fpsync: add send mail option (-M)
Note for packagers: adds a new dependency to mail(1)
1.2.0
2020/01/10, 1.2.0 ('Joking') :
- fpsync: ability to set an unlimited number of files or an unlimited size
per sync job (fixes GH issue #9)
- fpart: exclude files earlier (fixes GH issue #14)
Before that change, excluded files would not make a directory empty and
still account for its size; excluded files are now considered absent.
That change does not apply when a directory size is computed after
a certain depth (option -d) has been reached (in that case, once the
maximum depth has been reached, every single file accounts for a directory
size).
- fpart: allow to specify paths with options '-y', '-Y', '-x' and '-X'
(fixes GH issue #17)
- fpart: raise limits for different internal types: the size of a file or
partition, the number of files inside a partition and the number of
partitions. That will make fpart(1) ready to handle bigger filesystems.
- fpart: accept human-friendly size formats for options -s, -p, -q and -r
- fpsync: accept human-friendly size formats for option -s
- fpsync: use 'command' instead of 'which' to find binaries
(fixes GH issue #20)
1.1.0
2018/11/15, 1.1.0 ('Reading') :
- fpart: options -D and -E now pack files if they are explicitly passed as
arguments
- fpsync: simplify and fix detection of remote URLs (fixes GH issue #2)
- fpsync: implement simple ETA when displaying status
- fts.h: portability fix for Solaris 10 and earlier (GH PR #4)
- fpart: fix build on Alpine Linux (GH PR #5)
- fpsync: add timestamps and part numbers to logs
- fpsync: add support for cpio copy tool (option -m)
- fpart: option -Z becomes option -zz (incremental -z)
- fpart: add option -zzz to add all directories to file lists (as empty)
- other: lower required autoconf version to 2.63 (GH issue #7)
- other: update RPM .spec file for CentOS and Feroda (GH issue #7)
1.0.0
2017/11/10, 1.0.0 ('Dancing'):
- fpart: update embedded fts(3) using FreeBSD 12-CURRENT's version
- fpart: add option -E to pack directories instead of files
- fpsync: add option -E to work with directories (enables rsync(1)'s --delete)
That option finally enables fpsync(1) to parallelize the so-called final
rsync(1) pass, needed to remove extra files with the --delete option!
(of course it can also be used on a regular basis instead of the usual
'file' mode: you will get a perfect mirror without needing any extra
--delete pass)
- fpart: add option -0 to end filenames with a null (\0) character when
using option -o
- fpsync: use fpart's new option -0 in conjunction with rsync's --from0 option
to avoid failing on filenames with special characters
- fpsync: improve documentation

2013/11/13, 0.9-1:
(this minor change only impacts tarball users, fpart code itself has not
changed)

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=commitdiff;h=29900d3bff1ce445087ece5cb2cac425df1c2f74
it adds support for ppcle and ppc64le architectures.
