PLATFORM: AIX 4.3.3.25
RSYNC VERSION: 2.4.6
I am trying to use rsync to maintain a copy of a directory tree, but have
run into problems getting the --delete flag to work. As an experiment I
created two directories /tmp/tmpsrc and /tmp/tmpdest on the same machine.
/tmp/tmpsrc contains three files...
/tmp/tmpsrc/b
/tmp/tmpsrc/c
/tmp/tmpsrc/d -> c
/tmp/tmpdest contains four files....
/tmp/tmpdest/a
/tmp/tmpdest/b
/tmp/tmpdest/c
/tmp/tmpdest/d -> c
With /tmp as the current working directory, I issue the command....
rsync -rlptvvvv --delete tmpsrc/* tmpdest
...to synchronize the two directories. I expected the file /tmp/tmpdest/a
to be deleted but it wasn't. Am I misunderstanding the documentation? The
text from the
debug output is as follows....

cmd=. tmpdest

...as near as I can tell, the delete_files() procedure IS being called, but
the

" loop is "shorting" at the...
"if (!S_ISDIR(flist->files[j]->mode) ||
!(flist->files[j]->flags & FLAG_DELETE)) continue;"
...test where S_ISDIR(flist->files[j]->mode) returns 0 so !S_ISDIR... is 1
=> continue.
Is this the expected behavior?
