Bug ID: 12378 Summary: why i cannot exclude dir/files if using option "--files-from" Product: rsync Version: 3.1.2 Hardware: x64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: is...@sissa.it QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org I don't understand if this is intended or not, but when I use "--files-from" and "--exclude" options together all files are synced anyhow. eg.: rsync -av -c --delete --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=".cache" --exclude="mydirToExclude" /home . it correctly doesn't copy the .cache folder. but: rsync -av -c --delete --relative --delete-excluded --files-from=myFileList.txt --exclude=".cache" --exclude="mydirToExclude" /home . does copy everything. instead using a pattern such as --exclude="**myDirToExclude**" doesn't copy all lines with that pattern myFileList.txt is something like: userName/.cache/mozilla/firefox/e9dwu0jm.default/cache2/entries/D3BD7BB89AFC5E5C3921C55D38B7DB4F6A6A8C55 userName/.cache/mozilla/firefox/e9dwu0jm.default/cache2/entries/996E251B0D179792066F30DEB82476DF9D5E8B15 userName/.cache/mozilla/firefox/e9dwu0jm.default/directoryLinks.json userName/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe userName/.cache/winetricks/dotnet30/dotnetfx3.exe userName/.cache/winetricks/dotnet20sp2/NetFx20SP2_x86.exe userName/.cache/winetricks/msls31/InstMsiW.exe userName/Downloads/Sentinel_LDK_Run-time_setup/HASPUserSetup.exe userName/Downloads/Sentinel_LDK_Run-time_setup/readme.html Thanks, alessio -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
