rsync - Jan 2014 - [Bug 10356] New: Include rsync-no-vanished support script

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10356

           Summary: Include rsync-no-vanished support script
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jakobunt at gmail.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Bug 3653 discussed how "file has vanished" warnings can be silenced.
Code
changes did not make it in, but Matt McCutchen wrote the rsync-no-vanished bash
wrapper script, whose final version seems to handle it correctly, using
advanced bash features:

#!/bin/bash
ignoreexit=24
ignoreout='^(file has vanished: |rsync warning: some files vanished before
they
could be transferred)'
set -o pipefail
rsync "$@" 2>&1 | (egrep -v "$ignoreout" || true)
a=$?
if [ $a == $ignoreexit ]; then
    exit 0
else
    exit $a
fi

What is missing is to make that script accessible to users. I suggest to
include it in the support directory in the rsync tarball.

IMHO, this's wrong by design solution. There should be an option in rsync
itself, but not a hacky wrapper.

BTW. couldn't there be a situation, that rsync got two errors (one of which
is
"24") and exited with the exitcode "24", that will be
suppressed by the script.
So the other error will be unnoticed?

Rsync doesn't exit with error code 24 if a more important error happens
(which
is basically any other error).
