Re: [BackupPC-users] cygwin-rsyncd outdated No recent version ?

As I mentioned earlier, use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System to build a rsyncd install package for our PCs.

Assumptions:
We needed a simple rsyncd service that would install with MINIMAL user interaction. Our install does NOT use SSL keys, but instead relies on a simple rsyncd password (rsyncd.secret).

Acknowledgements:
The NSIS config file I used was leveraged heavily from ITeF!x Consulting from the cwRsyncd package they released. The following is based on v2.0.3
See http://www.itefix.no/ for the original authors ongoing work. His current package, while excellent, doesn't lend itself to automated installs.

Disclaimers: Use at your own risk. I had to hack this up to remove my company's specific information, and as delivered won't build a package that works for anyone without some modifications.   You must read and understand all of the text files included, especially:

"backuppc_rsync-server.nsi" : The NSIS script
"notify.bat" : executed by install package to call 'blat' to send email to our call ticketing system.
"rsyncd.conf" : leveraged ITeF!x version, with some changes we found to be good in our environment.
"rsyncd.secrets" : will contain your rsyncd password used in $Conf{RsyncdPasswd}

Requirements:
To create your own package from scratch you'll need to download and install packages from these sites:
NSIS: The install package builder: http://www.blat.net/?docs/license.txt (version 2.46 used)
Cygwin: http://cygwin.com   (file versions vary. My installation was from April-2012)
BLAT: (for Notifications) http://www.blat.net/

I copied the key files from Cygwin and Blat packages into the build tree as follows:

Directory of C:\rsyncd.backuppc
     backuppc_rsync-server.nsi
     [bin]
          blat.dll         blat.exe
          blat.lib         cygiconv-2.dll   cygpopt-0.dll    cygrunsrv.exe
          cygwin1.dll      notify.bat       rsync.exe
     [doc]
         rsync.html         rsyncd.conf.html
     [etc]
         fstab
     license.txt
     rsyncd.conf
     rsyncd.secrets

Files I wrote/modifed were:
"backuppc_rsync-server.nsi" : The NSIS script
"notify.bat" : executed by install package to call 'blat' to send email to our call ticketing system.
"rsyncd.conf" : leveraged ITeF!x version, with some changes we found to be good in our environment.
"rsyncd.secrets" : will contain your rsyncd password used in $Conf{RsyncdPasswd}
