I have the following module defined in rsyncd.conf:
[updates]
list = no
hosts allow = foo
path = /ext/updates
exclude = incoming
>From host "foo", if I run:
$ rsync -arHvn --delete bar::foo /ext/updates
then the /ext/updates/*/incoming directory will be deleted. However,
If I use:
$ rsync -arHvn --delete --exclude=incoming bar::foo /ext/updates
then /ext/updates/*/incoming is not deleted. This is what I want.
According to the man page for rsyncd.conf:
The "exclude" option allows you to specify a space
separated list of patterns to add to the exclude
list. This is equivalent to the client specifying
these patterns with the --exclude option except
that the exclude list is not passed to the client
and thus only apply on the server.
Does the last part of the last sentence infer the deletion behavior
above?
I'm using rsync 2.5.2 on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE.
