I understand that there are different ways to fix my specific problem. |
| 31 |
I think that the proposed exclude syntax to rsync is correct for what |
| 32 |
needs to be accomplished, which is to leave the distdir and packages |
| 33 |
directories alone. The current syntax will leave everything underneath |
| 34 |
these directories alone, but not the directories themselves. If that is |
| 35 |
what the maintainers desire, then so be it. But if not, I have given |
| 36 |
the suggested changes. |
