The title is not as easy as it sounds.... I am trying to exclude and file while ssh and untaring the file on the fly.
The command I am using is... The command typically works but recently I've add the X option along with the exclude file. Essentially, the exclude file is being ignored when run on the fly, as below.
Running the following works all the time....
But when adding the ssh along with the exclude file, it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The hard links don't exist in the first place. How can I prevent that from happening?

test::checkmanifest
Test::CheckManifest(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::CheckManifest(3pm)NAME
Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro
VERSION
version 1.25
SYNOPSIS
use Test::CheckManifest;
ok_manifest();
DESCRIPTION
"Test::CheckManifest"
EXPORT
There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest"
METHODS
ok_manifest [{exclude => $arref}][$msg]
checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the
distribution.
To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named "MANIFEST".
To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs in the hashref.
ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']});
is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array
must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution).
To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter"
ok_manifest({filter => [qr/.svn/]});
With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or in the path from the test.
These files would be excluded (as examples):
o /dist/var/.svn/test
o /dist/lib/test.svn
You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default is 'or':
ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'],
filter => [qr/.svn/],
bool => 'and'});
These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST":
o /var/foo/.svn/any.file
o /dist/t/file.svn
o /var/test/test.txt
These files not:
o /var/test/.svn/*
o /var/test/file.svn
EXCLUDING FILES
Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files: "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be
excluded:
t/my_very_own.t
file_to.skip
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Great thanks to Christopher H. Laco, who did a lot of testing stuff for me and he reported some bugs to RT.
