Package: rsync Version: 2.6.5-1 Severity: important I'm running rsync with the -C(*) option, which used to work, and with a file $HOME/.cvsignore containing:
--------- 8-< --------------------------
!
CVS
tags
TAGS
*~
.#*
[several other lines omitted]
--------- >-8 --------------------------
Notice the '!' on a line by itself, which is used to reset the
predefined values. Rsync version 2.6.5 fails with the error message:
'!' rule has trailing characters: !
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at exclude.c(833)
I also tried 2.6.4-6 without any difference. Only after downgrading to
2.6.3-2 it works again.
I chose the severity important because this bug makes it unusable for
me.
Thanks,
- Stephan.
