This is just good old 2.5.6-1, just recompiled for cygwin-1.5.0.
Local 2.01Gb transfers work correctly, but being in the middle of the
university exam session I can really do no big testing.

This release also has a README, unlike 2.5.6-1 (that was a mistake, of
course).
And a hint file.
Hurray.

BTW: on the rsync mailing list people is trying to solve cygwni's rsync's
problem in the meantime... (the child sometimes don't get killed and just
hangs in the undead army of chaos)

Ready at the same usual address:
http://www.lapo.it/tmp/rsync-2.5.6-2.tar.bz2
http://www.lapo.it/tmp/rsync-2.5.6-2-src.tar.bz2

sdesc: "Fast remote file transfer program (can use existing data to
minimize transfer)"
ldesc: "rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm'
which provides a very fast method for bringing
remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
differences in the files across the link, without requiring
that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the
link beforehand."
category: Net
requires: cygwin libpopt0
curr: 2.5.6-1
test: 2.5.6-1

BTW: it uses my patch of generic-build-script as proposed in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-06/msg00273.html
(btw: anyone have pro/cons about that one? ^_^)
