DO NOT REPLY [Bug 3845] New: Add --remove-source-files
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3845
Summary: Add --remove-source-files
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.9
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
ReportedBy: hashproduct+rsync@gmail.com
QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org
Let's have a --remove-source-files option that works like
--remove-sent-files
but removes from the source everything in the file list, not just transferred
files. Then I could use rsync for my primary move command (via a wrapper
called "mv2") as well as my primary copy command ("cp2").

Yes, I think this is a good idea, particularly because of the problem rsync has
doing the right thing when restarting an interrupted transfer that is using
--remove-sent-files (i.e. some of the sent files might not get removed).
Because of this, I'm thinking about deprecating --remove-sent-files (but
leaving it supported to work with older versions).

It would nicely solve the problem I have with files getting left over after a GPRS link goes down in mid-transfer. My current, and rather gross, solution is to summarily delete everything in the transfer directory after rsync completes successfully. --jc (In reply to comment #0)> Let's have a --remove-source-files option that works like --remove-sent-files > but removes from the source everything in the file list, not just transferred > files.

I've also checked this into CVS, so it is also available from there or the latest nightly tar file. The code is young, but should be safe as most of the functionality was taken from remove-sent-files. I've run basic tests on it, and it works fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

------- Comment #4 from hashproduct+rsync@gmail.com 2007-02-21 19:13 MST
-------
A --remove-source-files option was added in 2.6.9, but it does not remove
source directories, and I would like it to remove them so that "rsync
--remove-source-files" can be used as a mv replacement. Specifically, I
would
like the sender to do the following:
(1) Remove each empty source directory as soon as the generator processes it.
(For this to work, the generator would need to send MSG_SUCCESS after
processing a directory with no contents in the file list; maybe the
--prune-empty-dirs code could be reused to flag such directories.)
(2) After removing each source file, check whether the parent directory is
empty and in the file list. If so, remove it and recursively consider /its/
parent for removal.
I would be satisfied if a separate option or repetition of
--remove-source-files activated this behavior.

What's the status of this feature? The directory deletion feature is still
missing. I'm on 2.6.9 but I couldn't find changes in the Changelog of
3.0.

[Bug 3845] Make --remove-source-files remove directories too
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3845 --- Comment #7 from Tammer Ibrahim <tammer42 at gmail.com> 2012-05-07 12:56:59 UTC --- Hello, I'm also quite interested in this feature. Rsync is already the perfect augmentation of the cp command, and adding this feature would similarly allow an easy drop-in augmentation of the mv command. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

I don't have access to run rm -rf or such after the pull is complete so I just have hundred of empty directories sitting on that server. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
