| 1 | as of version 4.0 (april 88), the follwing need to be done to track: |
|---|
| 2 | bugs: |
|---|
| 3 | -d option doesn't work with non-default sub-list/statfile names. (FIXED) |
|---|
| 4 | -w makes statfile with root 644 protections. (not clearly a bug). |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | 1) fix nopullflag bug (described in 4.0 checkin message). |
|---|
| 7 | if the importing dir-name (say /bin) doesn't exist, |
|---|
| 8 | every subordinate file-creation complains of the missing entry-dir. |
|---|
| 9 | the updated() call in update_file() needs more subtlety for this case. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | 2) add @ flag for exceptions: |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | in general, "@name" would mean, |
|---|
| 14 | "export/import name's target", if name is a link, |
|---|
| 15 | or "export/import name", otherwise. |
|---|
| 16 | if name's ultimate target is a dir, that dir will be exported normally; |
|---|
| 17 | its links will not be traced. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | "->@name" would mean, export/import a link to name's target. |
|---|
| 20 | note that the subscriber's link will point to the exporting file-system. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | 3) add "backup" option, which ensures that the importing dir's are |
|---|
| 23 | up-to-date with respect to the exporting dir. no statfile is used. |
|---|
| 24 | this can be implemented as a variant of writestat's traversal. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | 4) add -C (comparison-root) option. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | 5) remove -u option, which is now the default. |
|---|
| 29 | add the opposite option, preventing updates of newer files. |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | 6) add -E option, for adding temporary global exceptions. |
|---|
| 32 | 7) add Ralph's syntax for temporary entry-exceptions. |
|---|
