RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rsync-3.1.2-4.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
The *rsync* utility now copies files with their original nanosecond part of the time stamp Previously, the *rsync* utility ignored the nanosecond part of the time stamp of files. As a consequence, the nanosecond time stamp of newly created files was always zero. With this update, the *rsync* utility recognizes the nanosecond part. As a result, the newly copied files keep their original nanosecond time stamp on systems that support it.

Comment 1 Giuseppe Ragusa 2016-11-16 13:40:08 UTC 
Created attachment 1221153 [details]
First (incomplete) patch

To be inserted after all patches already present in RHEL7 rsync spec.
Comment 2 Giuseppe Ragusa 2016-11-16 13:42:09 UTC 
Trying to push this RFE forward, I'm testing a backport of upstream commit 839dbff2aaf0277471e1986a3cd0f869e0bdda24 on latest RHEL7 package (3.0.9 based).

I'm attaching my latest test patch which adds further needed parts to the adapted patch from the commit above.

It compiles and runs cleanly (tested as Patch100 on a locally modified src.rpm) but does not actually enable the nanosecond mtime functionality, probably because full advertised support for protocol 31 would be needed.

Is it still considered an acceptable backport for RHEL7 if I go ahead and raise the advertised protocol level?

If it is not, then the only other path forward would be a package rebase (but I would need to check all the additional RHEL patches against latest upstream sources).
