rsync - Jul 2009 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6578] New: put out skipped dirs files w/ perms and ownership

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6578

           Summary: put out skipped dirs files w/ perms and ownership
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: toralf.foerster at gmx.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


It would be a nice to have if rsync gives a stats about skipped dirs (eg. those
from an exclude file).

background:

If someone is using rsync to backup an entire system except directories like
tmp/, .ccache and so on - then in case of restoring such a system after an
accident he needs the perms and ownership of the skipped dirs.

You can exclude all the contents of the temporary dirs and still copy the dirs
themselves: --exclude='/tmp/*' .

Fine - but can I use the same syntax w/ using an exclude file ?

Yes.  If you need to append the * to every line of an existing exclude file,
you can do that in an automated fashion with sed.

Yep - works. (Now I've only to test whether tar excepts that file too as it
doee it before "/*" was appended to every line)
