--delete & --files-from can't be used as a purge list. Alternate strategy suggestions?
Hi,
N.B. rsync version 2.6.2 on Linux, no rsync server, using SSH
THE PROBLEM
rsync --delete
--files-from=<FILES_ON_MASTER_TO_BE_DEL_AND_NOT_ON_SECONDARY> -e ssh
-... <SECONDARY_HOST>:<BASEDIR> <BASEDIR>
generates error:
receiving file list ... link_stat "<EXAMPLE_FILE_NOT_ON_SECONDARY"
failed: No such file or directory
and does not have the desired effect of deleting the remote file
EXAMPLE_FILE_NOT_ON_SECONDARY on the MASTER host.
Looking around it would appear --delete works upon directory updates,
but there is nothing in the documentation that indicates that options...
