rsync - Jun 2007 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4745] New: Use lchmod and lutimes whenever possible

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4745

           Summary: Use lchmod and lutimes whenever possible
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: hashproduct+rsync@gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Currently, on systems that support lchmod and lutimes, rsync uses them only
when it needs to manipulate a symlink.  I think it should use them everywhere
in place of chmod and utimes to avoid surprises or vulnerabilities should a
destination file of another type be suddenly replaced by a symlink.

3.1.0 will always use lchmod() and lutimes() (when available), as you suggest.
