The size of the repository has grown dramatically, which is fine on the servers but putting a strain on my system (a PowerBook). So I added support to our app for compressed versions of the files.
However, now all the files locally are suffixed with ".gz", whereas all the files on the server are not. I would like to continue to use rsync, but tell it that a file locally ending in ".gz" matches a file of the same name on the server without. It can't use checksums, obviously, because the targets are compressed.
Is there any way to do this in rsync? If not, may I request it as a feature? I'd be happy to implement it myself, but there's just no time to familiarize myself with the code and do it.
Related to that, it would be cool to tell rsync to run the files through gzip (or any other program) as it writes them. Both of these features should be generalized, of course.
TIA!
