obviously a simple task
I want to rsync a directory but only the pdf files...
rsync -ncauv --include=*.pdf $WORKING $WEB_SERVER
# sync's everything, I want to exclude stuff
rsync -ncauv --filter='+ *.pdf' --filter='+ *.odt *.ott *.eps' \
$WORKING $WEB_SERVER
# sync's everything...does not seem to exclude anything
rsync -ncauv --filter='. /root/scripts/qm_manual_filter' \
$WORKING $WEB_SERVER
# cat qm_manual_filter

excludes everything
I am using -n for dry-run
I definitely need recursive but -a option handles that
I don't know if it would work, but could you
use --exclude-from=/path/to/skiplist.txt to exclude everything then use your
filter line to add .pdfs back?
I've not tried adding anything back after excluding. You can certainly use
wild cards in your skiplist, such as *.odt *.ott *.eps

doesn't work...
(from script)
rsync -ncauv --exclude-from='/root/scripts/qm_manual_filter' \
--include='**/*.pdf' $WORKING $WEB_SERVER
# ./sync-qm_manual.scr
building file list ... done
sent 29 bytes received 20 bytes 98.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
no files but changing qm_manual_filter to specifics...
# cat qm_manual_filter
#+ **/*pdf
#- *
- *.ods
- *.odt
- *.ott
- *.eps
- Build-PDF/
did work, so I guess the simplest form is to just do this...
# tail -n 1 script...
rsync -ncauv \
--filter='. /root/scripts/qm_manual_filter' \
$WORKING $WEB_SERVER
# cat qm_manual_filter
+ **/*pdf
- *.ods
- *.odt
- *.ott
- *.eps
- Build-PDF/
which ultimately does what I want, I think.
here's a stupid hack . . . .
cd /base/dir/of/pdfs
find . -type f -name '*.pdf' -print > list
for f in `cat list`; do
( test ! -d /dest/`dirname $f`` && mkdir -p /dest/`dirname $f`` )
rsync -av $f /dest/$f
done
