Trying to patch rsync port.

[Lars Bungum]

Cheers!

I'm having problems with mknod errors coming from rsync.  After searching
the internet, I found a patch to 2.5.5 that solves the problem.  Although
the port seems upgraded to 2.5.6 in the meantime, I'd like to try this
patch to see if I can get it to work. The problem is that I don't really
know what I'm doing.

The patch can be found here:
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-June/007608.html

What I tried to do, was to paste it into a file /tmp/rsyncmknod.patch
and putting this line into the Makefile

EXTRA_PATCHES=  /tmp/rsyncmknod.patch

..but I didn't get this to work.  It asked me for a filename as I was
trying to make.

And afer I compiled successfully wihtout the patch make install failed
on this error (make -dA install)

..seems that pkg_info -O is not a legal option on my system.  I don't
know if these issues are related.  Thanks for help!
