Package: rsync
Version: 3.0.4-3
Severity: minor
X-debbugs-cc: [email protected]
Man page says:
--safe-links
This tells rsync to ignore any symbolic links which point
outside the copied tree. All absolute symlinks
are also ignored. Using this option in conjunction with
--relative may give unexpected results.
Not only --relative, but these also:
$ rsync -auv --safe-links --dry-run root@phone:/etc bkup/
receiving incremental file list
ignoring unsafe symlink "/home/jidanni/phone/bkup/etc/motd" -> "/var/run/motd"
ignoring unsafe symlink "/home/jidanni/phone/bkup/etc/resolv.conf" ->
"/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf"
I.e., it goes sniffing into the destination directory for some reason.
