Fixed for upcoming 3.1.2 release. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11423 --- Comment #9 from Kevin Korb rs...@sanitarium.net --- While it is true that 'rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $BACKUP_DIR' is GNU (not Linux) specific it is also true that 'rmdir $BACKUP_DIR /dev/null 21' is POSIX specific. If you want even more compatibility here is the [t]csh version: rmdir $BACKUP_DIR /dev/null -- 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.

[Bug 11423] rsync 3.1.x is creating empty backup directories
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11423 Wayne Davison way...@samba.org changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|DUPLICATE |WONTFIX --- Comment #6 from Wayne Davison way...@samba.org --- I misread this bug as a duplicate of 10724, which is talking about empty dirs down inside the top-level backup dir. Sorry about that. The newest rsync creates the top-level backup dir early so that the user gets some feedback if they didn't expect the dir to get created. It also ensures that rsync has a better idea if backups are going to succeed or not in total (a failure to find and/or make the backup dir causes the transfer to abort immediately). This change is as designed, and I'm not planning to change it. For your scripted backup use, you could follow an rsync run with: rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $BACKUP_DIR if you want to ensure that an empty dir is removed. -- 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.
