That feature is quite tightly tied in to the design of rsync. We need to use a temporary filename because rsync needs access to the old file to do delta encoding, and in any case many people want the file atomically replaced when it's complete. > what do you suggest me? :( Run with --progress and read stdout, or just look for .package.tar.gz.* and see how big it is. The name is unpredictable, but there will be only one. You could even set the temporary directory to make it more predictable. Oh, and please use the list so that other people can make suggestions. > > > greetings! > > macgiver > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
