This is a patch to add an --rsync-exclude option to rsync-2.5.6cvs. File names in .rsync- (or .rsync+) are excluded (or included) from the file lists associated with the current directory and all of its subdirectories. This has advantages over --cvs-exclude for backing up large file systems since the .cvsignore files only apply to the current directory: unless the .cvsignore restrictions apply

A while back I argued for adding a --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and got some general agreement that it would be a good thing (especially for systems that don't have rsh at all). However, the changes were never integrated into rsync. This patch adds the --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and modifies main.c to improve the blocking-IO setting code. The old code would set blocking_io to

Patch includes fixes to man page including: - Typos/Spelling - Clarity - Special characters. - Moved around text explaining example. Make sure I didn't confuse the exclude list/file paragraph (line ~961 after applying the patch), I haven't used the feature and the motive of that paragraph is a tad unclear. Hope the patch is helpful. Never had used yodl before. Thanks for rsync. /a

Hi everyone, I'd like to propose a patch for review. It enhances rsync when patched and compiled with slp support. It adds a new global boolean option, 'disable slp', which can be used to disable SLP advertisements at runtime. The idea behind this patch is to allow distributors to build rsync with SLP support compiled in, but to allow the users to turn it off without recompiling

Any feedback on this patch and the possibility of getting it into CVS or the patches directory?

Hello! In the attached file is patch for the option to set client connection limit. We had problem for dead hosts, so default system timeout is not enough. --conlimit option added Will be great to see this patch in the future version, so we do not need to patch every time. Thanks and Cheers, Eugene. -- -------------- next part -------------- diff -Naur rsync-2.6.8/errcode.h

I just picked up rsync 2.5.6 and installed it. I haven't actually _used_ it for anything yet; this is entirely about a handful of minor issues I noticed while building it. You may care or you may not; for simplicity of language (to avoid many repeated "in case you care" and such), the text below is written assuming you care about them all. On a (32-bit) SPARC system, I noticed:

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync, with the transfers originating from a Win2K box and going to a Linux box. Both boxes are on my home LAN, so ssh is not required; I thought I would simply use the rsync protocol. I set up xinetd on my Linux box to start a rsync server when needed. My first attempts at a test run failed like so: $ rsync -a /cygdrive/c/installs/palm rsync://192.168.2.3/palm

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

Hi, The patch below adds a "--ignore" option to rsync, which means "--exclude-but-dont-delete-even-if-we-specified--delete-excluded". I need this for a few tasks, the simplest of which is to have rsync resist trying to delete NetApp filers' ".snapshot" directories. The change is fairly simple (the boolean filter returns become tri-state), and works for me both

This draft patch adds support for transferring extended attributes with a new --xattr option. It ought to work on Linux with XFS or ext2/ext3 filesystems with the SGI/bestbits attribute system. It is partially working, but there seems to be some kind of hang bug while transferring the file list. I suspect it might be provoking a problem in io.c. You need to rerun autoconf, autoheader and

I've setup up a single-use key on a remote host to run rsync in server mode. I've also setup .ssh/config locally with an IdentityFile to select the single-use ssh key. This works on my Debian sid machine: rsync --rsh="ssh remove_host" :: But on another machine that command (and others tried below) do not access .ssh/config. The machine is running these: $ ssh -v

Hi Folks -- I've recently had the need to add a piece of functionality to rsync that allows one to run 'rsync --daemon' (rsync in "rsync server" mode) over SSH. My main goal was to be able to use some of the features from rsyncd.conf(5) (notably modules) while still using SSH for authentication and network transport. Background: I wanted to have the capability of setting
