I'm trying to switch to using rsync for updating a huge software library
containing binaries, text files, symlinks, and so on. We've been using
something homegrown which I'm not that happy with - it's a perl script
that systems cp and chmod and such.
The problem I'm seeing is:
target computer:
directories ctime-5 and ctime-5b3 are distinct directories
source computer:
ctime-5 is a symlink that points at ctime-5b3
When I do:
/export/home/dcslib/rsync -abvx rsync://okazaki.acs.uci.edu/sun4-5 .
I unfortunately get:
delete_file: rmdir(packages/ctime-5.0) : File exists
rsync: symlink "packages/ctime-5.0" -> "ctime-5.0b3": File exists
rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(883)
Is there a reasonably simple way around this?
TIA.
