Is there a way to make rsync unconditionally transfer files, i.e. create them anew even if the target already exists and is identical to the source ? rsync -I looks closer but still avoids transferring the files. -- Andr? Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/

Trying to use rsync to make sure that _dest_ is a regular file with the same content as file _source_. If _dest_ already exists and is a symlink, FIFO or device file, rsync deletes it and creates a regular file in its place. Good. If _dest_ already exists and is a directory, rsync creates _dest_/$(basename _source_). Not what I want. Is there an option similar to GNU install -T or GNU cp -T

Hello all. Thanks for FLAC. It's served me well for the past few years. Is there a program out there to truncate a FLAC file without decoding/recoding it ? Preferably command-line (I already know at what point I want to truncate it). Thanks in advance. -- Andr?

OggEnc rc3 has trouble with this file. It adds high frequency gunk to the percussive synth part.

I'm adding files to an existing tree via rsync -aO. Some of the directories on the remote are owned by a different user. I have rwx permissions on them but when rsync tries to set the permissions for those directories, it fails and exits with a non-zero status. This is expected but it complicates error detection on my end. Is there a way to make rsync not consider it an error when chmod()

Is there a way to exclude (not recurse into) filesystems by type ? E.G. skip all sshfs mounts in the source tree ? Merry Christmas all. -- Andr? Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/

Hi rsync'ers. What can you recommend to create the initial backup of a partition before calling rsync (under Linux, 100 GB, 10M files, only normal files and some soft links)? (Using rsync takes too long for this initial copy.) Here are some candidates: 1. star -copy -no-fsync -p -xdot -C $1 . $2 2. tar -C $1 -cf - . | tar -C $2 -xf - 3. cp -a $1 $2 4. cpio ... ... Any experiences?

Hi, i have a couple of questions I would appreciate if someone could answer... 1) Are there any guidelines for estimating server load? I am going to be running a couple of RSync servers and don't even have an order of magnitude guess as to what kind of load they can handle, how many sessions I should allow at once, etc. The data set I'll be serving is about 7000 files, an update to them

I was posed the following problem/teaser: given two matrices, come up with an "elegant" (=fast & short) function that returns a matrix with all and only the non-duplicated columns of both matrices; the column order does not matter. In essence, a matrix equivalent of union(x,y), where x and y are vectors. I could not come with anything nice. Any ideas? Giuseppe -- Giuseppe A.

Hi guys :-) Just a note to let you know that today we launched Slideshare ( slideshare.net) into open beta. It''s a powerpoint-sharing tool (with a twist) and the app is served with Mongrel. A teaser on techcrunch: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/04/introducing-slideshare-power-point-youtube/ Zed, a huge thanks for developing this server. If anybody needs pointers on using Mongrel in

Hi, I''ve been working for a big corporate company as junior system engineer and getting nicely to understand HTB/iproute2/iptables etc, The ordinary users(about 500 users), can pop / smtp / skype out on the network, but I can''t ssh out, cause they blocked the ports. Thought of being clever, I let my home linux listen on port 443 or 110 for ssh connection, but it wont connect, I

Some already know, but I think it deserves a bit of a attention here as well: It looks like we're about to get new features in R that will be very powerful! That should be a good enough teaser for now... /Henrik PS ...and thanks for making it available plus credits to similar efforts by others.

Well here is one more brain-teaser related to assigning stuff into a list of list. What if I need to create a new list of empty lists? I have actually got a solution to this problem: l = list(list()) for ( i in sequence(length-1) ) { l = list(unlist(l,recursive=FALSE), list()) } But it is not very neat to do this in a loop. Are there any cuter ways to do this?

Hi, Is it possible to write a function in Asterisk, that returns a value? Sort of like any programming language allows? For example, I`d like function ReturnSipReg to return the right SipRegistration to dial, based on some value so that I could use it in my dial plan: i.e: exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/ReturnSipReg(John)) ; would dial John's extension, which I don't know at this

Hello all, I am a 2 month newbie to R and am stumped. I have a data set that I've run multivariate stats on using the manova function (I included the data set). Now it comes time for a table of effect sizes with significance. The univariate tests are easy. Where I run into trouble filling in the table of effect sizes is the Mahalanobis D as an effect size. I've included the table so

For the last couple months, Nuance has performed extensive testing on how the Opus codec performs in the speech recognition task. I'm hoping to publish a full report in the coming months, but until then all I have is a teaser. Opus performed within about 1% of the WER (Word Error Rate) of unencoded audio. This is compared to about 5% for Speex, which was the previous codec of choice. Well

Heres a little teaser for those of you with iPhones Asterisk Voicemail for iPhone allows you to check your voicemail messages on your house or business line from your iPhone. You can think of it as "Visual Voicemail", but for your Asterisk PBX numbers instead of your AT&T cell number. The technology behind it is Asterisk (The Open-Source PBX), with iUI, Joe Hewitt's UI interface

Hello friends- There is a new release of the ez-where plugin. This plugin makes it easy to do complex ActiveRecord queries without writing any SQL. Ruby operators are mapped to SQL operators like so: foo == ''bar'' #=> ["foo = ?", ''bar''] foo =~ ''%bar'' #=> ["foo LIKE ?", ''%bar'']

I have a model class in rails that has a class variable that is a ferret index. For some reason, the methods in my class that refer to the class variable are getting lock conflicts. Can anybody see any obvious reason why? I notice that it keeps leaving a lock file in the index directory. I thought auto_flush was supposed to remove the lock automatically after every operation. Is there
