Alex,

I added shareName substitution for RsyncArgs* in commit 0b6dee6

[BackupPC-users] Share exclude lists among different servers

[Alexander Kobel]

Dear all,

is there a good/clean/recommended way of sharing exclude lists between 
servers by decoupling them from the main config.pl file?  I have a 
couple of servers whose configs differ just a bit, but enough that 
synchronizing changes becomes slightly annoying.  Also, I'm sure that 
many people have put quite a bit of effort to write sensible default 
exclude lists, and sharing/distributing such lists would be easier if 
they are decoupled from the rest of the configuration.


On a related note (perhaps more appropriate for -devel): 
$Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} pretty much allows me to do what I need:


$Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} = [
'--exclude-from=$confDir/pc/$host.exclude',
];

Unfortunately, there is no variable substitution for $shareName, unlike 
in the tar and SMB client commands.  Is there a specific reason why it 
is not allowed for RsyncArgs?



Thanks,
Alex
