Hi,
I just sent a subscribe mail to listproc and I don't know if I'm added yet.
I have an idea of a new switch, maybe called --dont-delete
I'm running some unofficial mirrors for debian and helix-gnome.
I use the switches "-rltvz --delete --delete-excluded" together with a
number of --include and --exclude switches.
My problem is that I touch a "lock-file" within the archive tree to prevent
dual runs and to inform users that a update is running.
The problems is that my "lock-file" is removed together with all other
obsolete files at the beginning if the rsync-session. My script gets
confused when it is no lock-file to delete afterwards.
I guess that the problem is the --delete--excluded which would clean out
all excluded files and all non existing files on the master site.
I would like to have a new switch that tells rsync to not delete some files
even if they don't exist on the master site.
