AFAIK, there is no trouble-free way to rsync remotely between Tiger and Panther machines. Tiger's rsync 2.6.3 requires a Tiger machine at each end; RSyncX works but fills the Tiger machine's logs with "HFS: /rsrc paths are deprecated (..namedfork/rsrc)" messages. I hope I'm wrong and somebody can point to a build of rsync that is happy with both 10.3 and 10.4.

I was able to compile the OS X 10.4 rsync package from Apple's Darwin site on a GNU/Linux box. I imagine it would compile fine on a Panther machine as well.

Could you provide some tips on how you were able to compile the Darwin rsync code? I tried it on a Jaguar machine and was able to compile the "vanilla" rsync code (in rsync-2.6.3.tar.gz) but didn't see how to use the files in the patches directory or how to use the provided Makefile. Did you have to make use of any other portions of the Darwin source code to get it to compile?
