I agree with this - a perl script to generate a list of includes from a list of
directories
is not hard to write (below in long and readable rather than compact perly
form), and what about --python and --awk:
#cat frag.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# frag.pl - perl fragment for generating include list for rsync
my $includes = ;
my %already = ();
my @pathlist = ;
foreach my $path (@pathlist) {
chop $path;
my @subdirs = split(/\//,$path);
my $dirs;
foreach my $dir (@subdirs) {
$dirs .= $dir./;
unless(defined($already{$dirs}) $already{$dirs} eq included) {
$includes .= --include .$dirs;
$already{$dirs} = included;
}
}
$includes .= --include $path/**;
}
$includes .= --exclude \*\ ;
print $includes,\n;
#cat test
dir1/local/src/dir1
dir2/local/bin
dir2/local/src
#cat test | ./frag.pl
--include dir1/ --include dir1/local/ --include dir1/local/src/ --include
dir1/local/src/dir1/ --include dir1/local/src/dir1/** --include dir2/ --include
dir2/local/ --include dir2/local/bin/ --include dir2/local/bin/** --include
dir2/local/src/ --include dir2/local/src/** --exclude *

The above command copies all the empty directories under tmp1/ . Is there
any way to avoid it?
Currently the only way is to explicitly include the parent directories
you want instead of --include */.
A quick fix is to post-process the directory with
find tmp2 -type d -empty -depth -exec rmdir {} \;
I think the best fix is to add scripting support:
rsync -avu --perl 'filter() { ( -d -s ) || /\.c$/; }' here friendly:/tmp
Anybody else like this idea?
Nah, the best fix in this case is --files-from. I'm not too keen on the
scripting idea. Seems like more bloat to me. With --files-from people
can use whatever script they like to generate the list of files before
sending it to rsync.
