How to exclude a file from a dar archive
I'm new to dar in Linux. I understand it's been around for a while, but I just bumped into it and I'm considering replacing tar with it in all my scripts. (reference https://sourceforge.net/projects/dar/)
The manual is very long, and was clearly written by a person for whom English is not the first language. Very well done considering, but some things are hard to follow. For the moment, though, I'm just struggling to see how to do one simple thing -- exclude a file or directory with a name that occurs in other places as well. So my test is done on this directory structure (output of find):
junkdir
junkdir/darme
junkdir/file
junkdir/dir
junkdir/dir/file
and I want to dump a darfile of junkdir, excluding junkdir/file but including junkdir/dir/file. When, for instance, I use
dar --create junk.dar --verbose=all --exclude junkdir/file --fs-root=junkdir
I get all of the files and directories, no exclusions. If I leave off the junkdir prefix, it excludes both files named 'file'.
Is there a way?
Hmmm, also.... Is there a way to create a tag for 'dar'?
