Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.4-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Debian Developers
With (old) rsync 2.6.3-2 I used the following options to syncronize
different computers:
DATA=`date '+%Y-%m-%d'`
RSYNCGET="rsync -abxHzu --progress -v --suffix=.~${DATA} --exclude="*.a"
--exclude="*.o" --exclude="*~*" --exclude="*.exe" --exclude=".nfs*"
--exclude="msg.*" --exclude="lock" --exclude="*\#" --exclude=".\#*"
--exclude="Backup" --exclude="pine-bin.linux" --delete --delete-after -e
ssh "
${RSYNCGET} server:dir dir
This makes a full copy, and leaves a backup copy of every changed and
deleted file in the client, with a name which contains the date
of the transfer.
Since I installed 2.6.4, the same command does not perform the
same:
If a file is deleted in the server, it will be deleted in the client,
WITHOUT leaving a backup copy.
Expected behaviour: a backup copy should be left in the client
I have checked that the same behaviour happens with sid 2.6.4-4.
The files disapear from the client, therefore it causes data loss.
Best regards, and thank you for your work.
