--- Begin Message ---Package: rsync Version: 3.0.0-2 Severity: normal The manpage is inconsistent about the default options for --delete: ----------------------------------------------------------------- --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs --delete-before receiver deletes before transfer (default) ------------------------------------------------------------------ And later: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Because of this, the default delete mode when you specify --delete is now --delete-during when both ends of the connection are at least 3.0.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The bad thing is, that the wrong information (the one about --delete-before) comes first. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii base-files 4.0.3 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libacl1 2.2.45-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lsb-base 3.2-4 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip rsync recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed
