Package: rsync Version: 3.0.9-4 Severity: wishlist
There is a time-limit patch which adds the following options to rsync: --stop-at=y-m-dTh:m Stop rsync at year-month-dayThour:minute --time-limit=MINS Stop rsync after MINS minutes have elapsed This is very useful when rsyncing a large amount of data during the night (non-busy hours), and then stopping when it is time for people to start using the network, during the day (busy hours). I know that this could be also implemented with a bit of script-fu or just by calling rsync with the timeout command. But this approach is less clunky and more elegant. The patch time-limit.diff is officially backed by upstream and available at: https://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-patches-3.0.9.tar.gz I tested just to drop time-limit.diff on debian/patches and to rebuild the package. It worked at the first try without any problem. Regards!
