Hi all, See the following for detail:
$ rsync -l ftp.cn.debian.org::debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/ [snip] drwxr-sr-x 4,096 2015/01/10 18:17:33 . lrwxrwxrwx 18 2015/01/10 18:16:31 current -> 20130613+deb7u2 +b4 drwxr-xr-x 4,096 2013/05/01 05:33:52 20130430 drwxr-sr-x 4,096 2015/01/05 17:25:32 20130613+deb7u2+b4 In the above case, the current is a link to 20130613+deb7u2, I want to use the name of link directory, i.e., current, to retrieve the correspond stuff from remote server to my local host. At the same time, exclude all of the other stuff in the installer-amd64 directory, for this case, it should be the directory 20130430. Considering that the sub-directories in installer-amd64 are often be renamed except the link directory name `current', so I want to only use the `current' as the directory name in my include/exclude rules for the above jobs. Any hints on how to write this rsync rules? Regards -- .: Hongyi Zhao [ hongyi.zhao AT gmail.com ] Free as in Freedom :. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
