Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.2.8-1 Severity: wishlist When using exclude (or include) glob filelists, one either needs to use **/ to match the source base directory, or hardcode it into the exclude file.
The former is too inspecific: **/foo would match basedir/foo, but also basedir/some/other/dir/with/foo. The latter is a pain if one wants to reuse the same exclude file with multiple backup invocations. It would be good if there was a special token, e.g. %BASEDIR%, which rdiff-backup would replace by the source. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rdiff-backup depends on: ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii librsync1 0.9.7-5 rsync remote-delta algorithm libra ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 1.0.3 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages rdiff-backup recommends: ii python-pylibacl 0.4.0-3 module for manipulating POSIX.1e A ii python-xattr [python-pyxattr] 0.4-4 module for manipulating filesystem rdiff-backup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
