As per http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2001-August/000067.html we can just prefix the path with a './' to hint to rsync that our source is a local path. patch attached.

Pierre, I assume you are managing devtools patches?
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Sunday, 20 March 2011, 17:24 GMT
Sure, I'll have a look as soon as I am back home. (Probably Tuesday or Wednesday)

The second patch looks like it will need an epoch=0 initialisation.

fixed patch

edit: oops uploaded the dbscript patch. 0001-add-epoch-support.patch is the right one.

It might be worthwhile to release a new devtools and dbscripts release so we can start using epoch.

Sure, as soon as I have time (like tomorrow). I didn't expect to see pacman 3.5 in core that early ;-)
