Hi, I'd like to extend rsync's --log-format to be more detailed and ultimately work in --dry-run mode. While i need both of these enhancements, i would rather not maintain such mods over time for our local use, so before i work on this, i'd like to hear back that this is indeed desirable/desired, as well as any advice, suggestion or feedback you may have in the hope to see this included in the distribution.
My basic goals are to - extend --log-format's %o to describe more of the action taken: "install" (a new file), "update" an existing file, "delete" a file, "skip" an excluded file, "uptodate".. (Note that the last two are currently not logged by --log-format) - say something for everything (e.g. not just files but also directories, ..) - go beyond "update" by listing exactly what is updated (permissions, data, timestamps, ..) Hopefully, once that is done, --dry-run mode can be improved to support --log-format. Let me know what you think. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
