Re: downloading only specific directories from directory tree

[Kevin Korb via rsync]

If you want every openSUSE_Leap_42.2 then just add an include of */ and
let --prune-empty-dirs handle the rest.  If you want it only in those
dirs then you would need something like (I didn't test this):
+ dir:/
+ dir:/**/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/***

Re: downloading only specific directories from directory tree

[Istvan Gabor via rsync]

Thank you for your answer, Kevin.

2. OK, I understand.

1. I checked colon dirs, and indeed they don't have openSUSE_Leap_42.2
dirs directly. But they have different subdirs which have
openSUSE_Leap_42.2 dirs. What would be the correct filter set
to mirror all openSUSE_Leap_42.2 dirs at any level if I don't want
to include all dirs at the root level? At the roor level tehre are
many dirs and I can't mirror everything at a time because of space
limitations. I would like to mirror different groups from the
root level separately. Either by using root level pattern names or
by directly specifying the dirs I want to mirror. Each root level dir
may or may not have an openSUSE_Leap_42.2 dir directly or at a
deeper level. I want to mirror all openSUSE_Leap_42.2 dirs that
belong to the specified root level dirs. To make it clear, for example,
I want to mirror games, games:, graphics, graphics:, hamradio, 
hamradio:,
hardware, hardware:, only the openSUSE_Leap_42.2 directory containing 
paths.

What would be the rules for this?

Thanks again,

Istvan

Re: downloading only specific directories from directory tree

[Istvan Gabor via rsync]

Dear Kevin:

~ 1 year ago your answer helped me to solve my problem.
This time I would like to do a similar thing but little bit modified.
I read again carefully INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES section of rsync
manual but still cannot comprehend every part of it.

I understand I have to add include patterns first and exclude patterns
second. But it is not clear if I have to add all the include patterns
first and all the exclude patterns after them. Or do I have add
include/exclude groups?

Now I would like to mirror openSUSE_Leap_42.2 dirs from
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/repositories/
but only from specified directories and without files with debuginfo
or debugsource patterns in their names.

I tried this command:

rsync -av --include-from=filters.txt --prune-empty-dirs \
rsync://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/repositories/ \
opensuse/repositories

where filters.txt contains:

+ /filesystems
+ /filesystems:
+ /games
+ /games:
+ /graphics
+ /graphics:
+ /hamradio
+ /hamradio:
+ /hardware
+ /hardware:
...
+ openSUSE_Leap_42.2/***
- *debuginfo*.rpm
- *debugsource*.rpm
- *

but it doesn't work the way I'd like.

1. The directories ending with : in their names are not mirrored.
I tried eg /games:  , /games\:  and "/games:", none of these worked.

2. The other directories are mirrored but debuginfo and debugsource
files are not excluded.

I'd appreciate if you explained what the problem is and how to solve 
it.


Thanks in advance,

Istvan

I don't know if it's doable what I want to do, and if yes, how.

The scenario:

I would like to make a local copy of openSUSE 13.2 repositories.
I use openSUSE linux.

The repos are located in a multi-level directory structure, eg:

ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/repositories/

Let's call this directory the root dir.

Each directory in the root has subdirectories, and one of the
subdirectories
is named "openSUSE_13.2". The openSUSE_13.2 dir can be one, two, or 
more

level
downstairs in the root dir, eg:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/openSUSE_13.2/

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/MirrorBrain/openSUSE_13.2/


There are plenty of directories in the root dir, and each 
subdirectory can

have several subdirectories.

Is it possible, using rsync, to download only all "openSUSE_13.2"
directories with
their contents, without specifying directly one by one every 
subdirectory

to be included or excluded?

I tried to use filters.txt file with content:

+ **openSUSE_13.2/***

with this command:

rsync -av --include-from=filters.txt
rsync://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/repositories/ ./

This downloads every directory. How can I exclude those are not
openSUSE_13.2?

Thanks,

Istvan
