Summary: New feature: adapt behavior thanks to extended attributes (xattr) Product: rsync Version: 3.1.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core AssignedTo: way...@samba.org ReportedBy: ymarti...@free.fr QAContact: rsync...@samba.org I would like rsync to support the xattr "user.xdg.robots.backup" described at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CommonExtendedAttributes If rsync runs with an option --xattr-backup-flag=user.xdg.robots.backup it should skip directories and files with that xattr set to "false". So that a user can decide what to exclude from backup without avoid to refer directories into an exclusion file list. I think it is also a good idea to emit a warning when such files/directories are excluded. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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.
