rsync - Nov 2005 - Dynamically determined include/exclude list.

Is there a way to define a module within rsyncd.conf such that its
include/exclude list is dynamically determined by executing a host command,
e.g. find? If it can't be done today, is it the sort of feature which would
be
considered for future development?

In the CVS version of rsync, you could specify a "pre-xfer exec"
command
that could run anything you like (such as find).  However, the only way
that could affect what gets included/excluded in the already-started
transfer would be for you to use per-directory filter files.  For
example, if you have this filter rule in your config file:
    
    filter = dir-merge .auto-filter

Rsync would look for filter rules in a file named .auto-filter in every
directory of the transfer and react accordingly.  See the manpage for
more details.
