Previously, there was a $VERBOSE script variable that was set according to
the "-v" command line option and then reset to null within each source
sub-shell. With no loss of functionality, this patch removes all references
to that variable.
This makes the script 13 lines shorter.
According to the documentation, "if [the very_verbose] file exists in the
source specification -v will be passed to rsync, rm and mkdir." Previously,
the -v option was passed only to rsync. This patch passes it to rm and mkdir
as well.
Actually, as per the behavior of the previous version, it is verbose that
sends the -v option to rsync while very_verbose sends it the -vv option. I
left it this way because this behavior seems reasonable. Maybe the
documentation should be corrected on this point.
1). If an option doesn't exist in a source directory, check the defaults directory.
2). For every option, create a corresponding "no_" option so that a source directory
can override an option set in defaults.
(i.patch)
I added some patches from John with an E-Mail address he
does not to be public on the internet.
I did not ask him before whether this is fine, so I screwed
up (similar to the description in git-tag(1)).
Thus I replaced his e-mail and would like you to accept
this forced push and remove old trees on the net.
Thanks,
Nico

I think that this quick test is a much better than, say, pinging
the source in a pre-exec script: this tests not only that the
source is up and connected to the net, it also verifies (1) that
ssh is up and accepting our key (if we are using ssh), and (2) that
the source directory is mounted (if it needs to be mounted) and
readable.

Subject: Notiz: Probleme mit Ampersand in source
Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:11:10 +0000
Hoi Nico
Kleine Notiz wie im IRC besprochen:
- Hat es in /etc/ccollect/sources/$BACKUPNAME/source ein Ampersand muss
dieses Escaped werden, da sonst folgender Fehler auftritt:
*snip*
[volumes_ForschungEntwicklung] 2008-10-05-03:10:03: Beginning to backup,
this may take some time...

bytes received so far) [receiver]

[volumes_ForschungEntwicklung] 2008-10-05-03:10:03: Finished backup

[volumes_ForschungEntwicklung] 2008-10-05-03:10:03: Warning: rsync
exited non-zero, the backup may be broken (see rsync errors).
*snip*
- ein "&" im Namen fürs Backup,
also: /etc/ccollect/sources/volumes_Forschung&Entwicklung/ wird beim
Anzeigen (wie oben zu sehen) verschluckt.
Cheers,
Tiziano

1. I got a syntax error in ccollect.sh once in a while, i think at
rollover. I changed the line
j=$((j+1))
to
j=$(($j+1))
(twice) and the error went away.
