Dear Maintainer,
for metche to save testing state this test is used :
if changed_from "$BACKUP_DIR"/testing-latest.tar.bz2; then
The function "changed_from" will use find as in:
if [ "$(find $(print_watched_files) $FIND_OPTS -newer "$ref_file" -print |
head -1)" ]; then
In $FIND_OPTS we've put many files which will potentially change constantly
without
real interest for metche:
# Example (default value):
#EXCLUDES="*.swp #* *~ *.gpg *.key ifstate adjtime ld.so.cache shadow* \
# .cache .gnupg blkid.tab* aumixrc net.enable mtab backup.d \
# vdirbase run.rev vdir run.rev \
# prng_exch smtp_scache.pag smtpd_scache.pag \
# smtp_scache.dir smtpd_scache.dir local.sh \
# ssh_host_dsa_key* ssh_host_rsa_key*"
Problem : if one file changes in /etc, /etc will be found as changed by
find, and no testing state will be saved.
A solution might be to only search for files, not directories (works
here):
