Dear ConTeXters,
I've found a rsync binary on MinGW project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Extension/rsync/rsync-3.0.8-1/
If there are any volunteers to test how the binary behaves when
replacing the one from
http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip
with the one from mingw, I will be grateful.
The idea is to fetch context-setup-mswin.zip, delete cygiconv-2.dll,
cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, try to replace them with the binary from
MinGW and test if everything still runs smoothly after that. If it
does, I would prefer to use the binary from MinGW.
Mojca

Hi Mojca,
I haven't noticed any obvious problems so far. But I must say, that I'm
not an experienced rsync user.
I tested a fresh installation (beta), a change to '--context=current'
(got suite version 0.53 instead of 0.60) and '--modules=all'. Looked ok
to me. Sorry, no time for deeper tests now.
The binary needs the following run time libs (all part of msys).
msys-1.0.dll 802.5 k
msys-iconv-2.dll 0.9 M
msys-intl-8.dll 47.0 k
msys-popt-0.dll 1.3 M
A first test didn't work, because the actual 'mtx-update.lua' still uses
the path prefix '/cygdrive/'. I simply replaced '/cygdrive/' with '/'. I
also had to restrict my writing rights to the modified version,
otherwise it was always overwritten by the suite version.
I stored a zip file on
https://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/?key=caiCGLasLFmJ
, so that other Windows users can test it too. The hardest part is the
protection of the modified lua file (a normal write protection didn't
work here).
Best wishes,
Peter
