JdeBPJdeBP@mastodonapp.ukOct 5, 2026, 2:08 PMWhen I read statements like that, my usual reaction is to think that I only use a sub-set of rsync's command-line arguments, so it is probably alright.
The more important thing is that the project has been going since 2019 and has not had a single release yet. The author is still, this year, warning people that it should be considered under development.

The README, which the author appears to be keeping up to date so this is not years-old stale information, is still saying that bringing in Apple's code is a work in progress.
