Package: rsync;Maintainer for rsync is Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org>; Source for rsync is src:rsync (PTS, buildd, popcon).
A regular file is considered to be executable if at least one oqxcq is turned on in its permissions. When an existing destination file's executability differs from that of the corresponding source file, rsync modifies the destination file's permissions as follows: o To make a file non-executable, rsync turns off all its oqxcq permissions. It gives a 'cannot traverse non-regular file' error for Windows junctions and directory symlinks. You can sort-of do 2-way sync with rsync by running it twice but there's no easy way to pick and choose which side to favour in complex cases, so don't do it.
