Issue with --delete-target-snapshots and --insecure-direct-connection

[revilo951]

Using --delete-target-snapshots --insecure-direct-connection on a fresh install from Master results in:

Unknown option: delete-target-snapshots
Unknown option: insecure-direct-connection

[ipaqmaster]

Fresh install of what distribution? And what version of the package?

[revilo951]

Great question.

Debian 11 Bullseye (Proxmox v7)

syncoid version 2.1.0 (Installed 2 or 3 days ago via instructions on INSTALL.md)

[jimsalterjrs]

Actually not v2.1.0--installed from master, after the last round of merges. What's in master right now technically doesn't have a version number yet. It doesn't get a version number until it's packaged up as the next release.

[revilo951]

Ah, that makes sense. Would you like me to have a go at a PR updating the docs to reflect that?

If I understand correctly, for those features, someone would need to clone the repo and build themselves, as they aren't built into packaged releases yet?

Is there a workaround to --delete-target-snapshots issue?
Like, is there a zfs receive option that could be specified in --recvoptions= ?

edit: maybe this?
-F Force a rollback of the file system to the most recent snapshot before performing the receive operation. If receiving an incremental replication stream (for example, one generated by zfs send -R [-i|-I]), destroy snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side.

I just tried the current git-version it with a self-built package and i'm very happy about those new features.

--delete-target-snapshots works in my cases with no issues so far

I was about to tinker in the code to disable the cache-update for the whole system as my targets are only dataset-children with zfs allow ... for the specific users.
Luckily i skimmed the commits 🙈

Now i can remove my Target-Side $Users cpan and $HOME/bin setup again 👍

Just fyi, what works for me

@jimsalterjrs I hate to ask directly, but it would be super helpful if these features from master could make it into a release (and thus distro packages). What plans do you have for a sanoid/syncoid minor release?
