Recursively copy only specific files from a directory tree
Hi
I am a shell-script newbie and am looking to synchronize certain files in two directory structures.
Both these directory-trees are in CVS and so I dont want the CVS directory to be copied over.
I want only .sh and .pl files in each subdirectory under these directory trees to be synchronized.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks

I need to copy a huge directory with thousands of files onto another directory but without *.WMV files (and without *.wmv - perhaps we need to use *.).
Pls advise how can I do that.

cvs-debc
CVS-DEBC(1) General Commands Manual CVS-DEBC(1)
NAME
cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debc [options] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debc is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
.changes file generated in that run. It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running dpkg-
deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
as the .changes file. It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.
If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.
Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
last command-line parameter.
OPTIONS
All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all
of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.
-adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to
mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
-Mmodule
The name of the CVS module.
-Ppackage
The name of the package.
-Vversion
The version number of the package.
-Ttag The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
-Rroot directory
Root of the original sources archive.
-Wwork directory
The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
-xprefix
This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
--help, --version
Show help message and version information respectively.
