[LUGSB] meeting report?

[Josef Sipek]

During the peresentation Ilya said that there was no reason to use rsync on
a local filesystem. There actually is one - getting the progress status of
copy. This is what I have in my bash_profile (yeah, I'm a punny guy):

alias angeldust='rsync -Pr --stats -a' # aka. progress'd cp => pcp

The source/destination paths are the way rsync does them (which is a little
different from what cp does) but that's a detail. One of these days, I might
turn it from an alias to a full shell script which emulates the cp-style
source/dest paths. If I do it, I'll share it here.

Ilya, thanks for the talk.

Josef "Jeff" Sipek.
