[gentoo-user] rsync exlusion for portage tree

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I'm using an rsync exclusion file to keep my portage tree some
bits smaller. 

I'd now like to kick off app-docs, but include app-doc/xorg-docs.
How can I do this ?

thx

I don't know much about how gentoo wraps rsync in portage or what your
rsync file looks like, but assuming you're '--exclude'-ing app-doc, you
can just '--include=app-doc/xorg-docs'.  The --{ex|in}clude[-from]
arguments are syntactic sugar for rsync's filtering capabilities.
