Subject: [Cooker] Rsync script error
Date: Sat, 2 Mar 2002 10:06:23 -0800
User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.25i
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=A_FROM_IN_AUTO_WLIST version=2.0
The rsync sample script located at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/rsync.txt
has an error in it.
It has a flag like so: --exclude '/.*'
I presume that is to avoid downloading the temporary files rsync makes
while syncing.
However this flag doesn't work with the way that script is setup. It
should be --exclude '.*'
I made a directory named test and touched x and .x note the files
transfered and how the flag is set:
[root@titanium root]# rsync --rsh=ssh -auv --partial --max-delete=5
--delete --exclude '.*' stream.brain.org:/home/breser/test .

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism
or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi

We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we
mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose.
