The intention of rsync is to be able to copy a set of files as they are, not as they're listed in some perhaps out of date file. Additionally, perhaps not all info is available through the ls-lR file, e.g. what files are hardlinked together (even if inode numbers are shown, the ls-lR file could span more than one filesystem, leading to duplicate inode numbers that aren't linked). I don't expect ever to see an ls-lR file being used, hence tagging this bug "wontfix". Paul Slootman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
