Package: obnam
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: wishlist
More flexible ways of excluding, kind of like in duplicity. There are
so many file names one might wish to exclude that trying to match them
with a regexp or two doesn't work for me.
Of course the _most_ flexible way would be to accept the list of files
to back up on stdin, like cpio. But that's really the other extreme.
The one particular way of excluding I miss most is tar's
--exclude-tag-all. That lets me exclude whole subtrees by dropping a
.nobackup file into them.
