Summary: wishlist: add flag(s) to preserve *destination*
metadata (i.e. owner, group)
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: chiest...@salk.edu
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
In some cases you want to preserve the destination metadata, not the source
metadata. For example, when updating an SSL certificate and key - they will
often have special ownership to limit access (the key in particular). Rsync
cannot be currently used without the user manually re-setting ownership.
If the destination file did not exist then rsync would fallback to its normal
way to set metadata.
Apologies if this is already possible, I have not found a way to do this.
