From f7c498d0596276b6a4a3c84f9a943471cd733b68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petros Moisiadis Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:24:47 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] synchronize: use a single -F instead of -FF This small change corrects behavior when one uses an .rsync-filter file to exclude some paths from both being transferred and being deleted, so that these excluded paths can be handled separately with different tasks (e.g. in order to deploy the excluded paths independently from the rest paths and notify handlers appropriately). The problem with the double -FF option is that it excludes the .rsync-filter file from being transferred to the receiver. However, deletions are done on the side of the receiver, so it is absolutely necessary the .rsync-filter file to be transferred to the receiver, so that the receiver knows what files to delete and what not to delete. --- files/synchronize.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/files/synchronize.py b/files/synchronize.py index 842dd863849..5935bc29ec1 100644 --- a/files/synchronize.py +++ b/files/synchronize.py @@ -252,7 +252,7 @@ def main(): group = module.params['group'] rsync_opts = module.params['rsync_opts'] - cmd = '%s --delay-updates -FF' % rsync + cmd = '%s --delay-updates -F' % rsync if compress: cmd = cmd + ' --compress' if rsync_timeout:
