[Bug 1743873] Re: rsync version for xenial

[ Christian Ehrhardt ]

For the usual SRU policy [1] it is unlikely and would require a lot of
exceptions and checks to take the full 3.1.2.

You'd really have to show that it is not working at all.
Otherwise usually only individual fixes are backported.

The other issue you mentioned is already tracked on it's own so I won't
consider that for the xenial task here for it.

Title:
  rsync version for xenial

Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in rsync source package in Xenial:

Status in rsync package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Any chance that rsync could be updated to 3.1.2 for xenial?

  The --backup-dir option in 3.1.1 doesn't work properly - it creates
  empty directories even when no files need to be put in them.

  Thanks,
