Hi Jhonata,

Thanks for the new version.

It works correctly with the current version of rsync, but we still have
a small issue, sorry.

It looks like with the version 3.4.2, the runtests.sh file was removed
and a runtests.py one was introduced. We already have a patch on the
mailing list upgrading the rsync recipe [1]. Can you rebase on it and
make sure to use the new test script?

Thanks,
Mathieu
