rsync - Jul 2014 - [Bug 10681] New: Add an option to delete non-existent files in --files-from

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10681

           Summary: Add an option to delete non-existent files in
                    --files-from
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: darius at dons.net.au
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I have a script which monitors file system events and then calls rsync using
--files-from, however that does not handle the case where those files do not
exist so I currently have a separate job which culls files have been deleted.

It would be nicer if rsync read a file explicitly mentioned in --files-from
that does not exist as one which needs deletion on the destination.

Upgrade your rsync and use --delete-missing-args

As mentioned, this is already implemented.

I wrote a similar utility. And it uses "--include-from" instead of
"--files-from".
