[BackupPC-devel] BackupPC 3.2.0 bug? (probably on earlier versions also...)

[Evren Y. <yur...@is...>]

Hi,

I was wondering for a while why Rsync transport never adds the '--exclude'
arguments even though there is code in lib/Xfer/Rsync.pm file which should do that.

It first adds the --exclude arguments then...


         if ( defined($conf->{BackupFilesExclude}{$t->{shareName}}) ) {
             foreach my $file ( @{$conf->{BackupFilesExclude}{$t->{shareName}}} )
             {
                 #
                 # just append additional exclude lists onto the end
                 #
                 $file = encode($conf->{ClientCharset}, $file)
                             if ( $conf->{ClientCharset} ne "" );
                 push(@fileList, "--exclude=$file");
             }
         }


later on it strips them off

        eval {
            $argList = File::RsyncP->excludeStrip($argList);
        };


Is this a bug or what? Because of this, also the examples in the configuration 
file where --exclude are do not function at all. Is there a reason to strip the 
--exclude arguments at all?

Thanks,
Evren
