Cool. I'm looking into making this work when fetching files. Towards that end, I'd like to suggest an alternate command-line syntax to make the --source-file option take a filename. This will allow it to accept "-" as stdin, and will make it easy to parse for the pull syntax. This means that we need to omit the SRC spec on a push or specify it as empty. E.g. these will all work: rsync --source-list=file remote:/path rsync --source-list file : remote:/path rsync --source-list=- "" remote:/path <file A pull looks like this: rsync --source-list=file remote: /path rsync --source-list - remote::module /path <file What do people think? Of course this is not for the rsync release we're currently working on, but could be included as a patch, if desired. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
