rsync - Aug 2010 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 7633] New: add support for include/includedir config file directives

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7633

           Summary: add support for include/includedir config file
                    directives
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: samba at askneil.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The samba configuration has support for including an external configuration
file into the smb.conf file.

rsync does not support this functionality.

I'm requesting this functionality so rsync server configurations can be
modularly changed without having to edit the "main" file, by dropping
other
config files into a directory and having the main config file reference them.

At some level this is just syntactic sugar: I could just combine all the
other files together at run time.  But it would be convenient if rsync
provided the functionality natively.

See the CONFIG DIRECTIVES section of the rsyncd.conf manpage in 3.1.0.  At work
we use "&include /etc/rsyncd.d" inside a simple /etc/rsyncd.conf
file so we can
put whatever module-defining *.conf files we like inside that directory.
