 > Hello, I don’t recall where I found where samba.org marked it as broken.
 My recollection is that it was in a readme file included with either rsync
 or rsync-patches. http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-
 patches-3.1.3.tar.gz is no longer available, and the new location for
 rsync-patches, GitHub, doesn’t contain any such info.

 > I can tell you that I submitted the PR because I have an old PowerPC mac
 and a) rsync from an intel mac running rsync 3.1.3 to PowerPC mac running
 3.1.2 was crashing. I’m pretty sure I tried to get the port working with
 the hfs-compression patch but was not successful, found _something_ that
 said it was broken, so I removed it. See: https://github.com/macports
 /macports-ports/pull/1299

 > FWIW, the patch itself is labeled as UNTESTED, and doesn’t appear to
 have been updated in the past 9 years, since 3.1.0.dev. Mike Bombich’s
 original patch isn’t around any more, either.
