similar to: rsync-exclude.patch.

As mentioned on the rsync home page, the --files-from=FILE option in rsync version 2.6.0 is a useful option that allows one to "specify a list of files to transfer, and can be much more efficient than a recursive descent using include/exclude statements (if you know in advance what files you want to transfer)". However, --files-from does not help one implement the --rsync-exclude=FILE

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

I have added regular expression support using a POSIX implementation. The patch (against 2.5.5) is attached. The implementation is simple and follows the same mechanism that is implemented for normal searches. I added these command line arguments: --rexclude=PATTERN exclude files matching regexp PATTERN --rexclude-from=FILE exclude regexp patterns listed in FILE --rinclude=PATTERN

Hi guys, I recently stumbled across what I think is an rsync bug. The problem was I was trying to rsync from one CVS checkout, to another, and was using rsync -Cavz to do the job. In this CVS module, there happens to be two sub-directories with the names of "core" and "tags" respectively, which were ignored, since these names matched the default CVS ignore list. When rsync

Some of the debug messages that rsync outputs (when verbose >= 2) can occur on both sides of the connection. This makes it hard to know which program is saying what. Some debug messages deal with this by outputting a "[PID]" string at the start of the message. Unfortunately, the startup message that tells us which pid is which is only output when verbose >= 3, so there's a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hy folks, everybody knows, that rsync eats up a lot of memory, when rsyncing a lot of files. To avoid this i run rsync on different parts of the directory-tree (e.g. first ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir1 then ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir2 and so on) and it works fine for me. So i tried to do this in a automatical way (e.g perl/shell/whatever

On behalf of the development team of R (www.R-project.org), I would like to report the following problem with recent versions of rsync. First, some background info. The R Development Core Team uses CVS for maintainins its source code archive. Additionally, there is a mechanism for "mirroring" some important (so-called recommended) extension packages from a CRAN (Comprehensive R

We use rsync in a Linux installation script. First, the root filesystem of another machine on the network is cloned with "rsync -axzH", and then a few files are updated to give the clone its own identity. This works fine, but last week, the Postfix mailer daemon on a new machine refused to start because some lock files had a link count of 2. It turned out that rsync had created two

I just took a look at the 2.5.5 codebase to see how easy it would be to write a little driver script that downloads a big directory tree from an rsync daemon the chunky way (get a list of a module's subdirectories and do the transfer by subdirectory). The reason for doing this is obvious when you have large directory trees, as is the case for many of us. Unfortunately the way list_only is

Hi, I'm trying to get rsync to use a list of directories and their contents to to another drive on a Windows XP machine. I tried the command rsync -rDPt --delete --include-from=c:\include_list.txt --exclude-from=c:\exclude_list.txt /cygdrive/d/source/ /cygdrive/e/backup But the trouble is that no matter what I put in the include_list file it always copies everything in source. I even

Hello I run rsync on a server and I backup our office PCs to it using cwRsync on Windows PCs. The command I use to backup these PCs is: rsync -vbalz --stats --backup-dir=/yesterday_backups/ --exclude-from="exclude_list.txt" --files-from="include_list.txt" --rsh="ssh" . username@mydomain.com:/path/to/folder On the server, I have the rsync service started at

This patch causes --exclude-from and --include-from to read from STDIN when given - for a filename. This was formerly incorporated in my --link-dest patch.

Hello, I'm configuring rsync to use --exclude-from option however it doesnt work as I want to. I have a directory /source/ which contains additional directories a, b, c. In addition /source/ directory contains some db.* files that I dont want to backup. The tricky part is that subdirectories /source/a, /source/b and /source/c can have their own db* files wich I do want to keep. so how

Hi Gents, I have written a backup script with rsync, which is working fine for a long time. Now a problem has occured. which I am not able to solve by my own: Before I am doing the backup I am checkig if there are any changes to backup ... rsync --delete $RSYNC_EXCLUDE -avzne "$RSYNC_SSH" $RSYNC_SOURCE $RSYNC_DESTINATION But when I have created a path of new directories in

We've just been hit rather badly by a very nasty bug that can cause rsync to silently discard files or fill them with zeroes. It happens when e.g. opendir() succeeds but readdir() returns an error; rsync does not check for an error from readdir() and so simply ignores the error (along with any remaining files in the directory). No error is reported to the user, who will then happily
