DUPDATE dist-dir dest-dir [FORCE][QUIET][NODEL] [DISTFILE distfilename]
DUPDATE dist-file dest-dir [FORCE][QUIET][NODEL] [DISTFILE distfilename]
DUPDATE is a program that creates distributions. It creates an exact
duplicate of the source directory tree in the destination with
modifications according to control files in the tree. DUPDATE deletes
files in the destination tree that do not exist in the source and updates
files from the source into the destination tree that have been modified
since the last dupdate (or copies them fresh if they do not exist).
FORCE - DUPDATE will not ask permission to copy a fresh file
QUIET - DUPDATE will not display verbose output
NODEL - DUPDATE will not delete files in the destination that do
not exist in the source.
DISTFILE file
- specify alternate control file that 'modifies' the
dist update, default is .DistFiles
If a file ".DistFiles" exists in any directory of the source tree,
updating of the destination is modified according to the file. This
is a text file which may specify additional files/directories to add to
the destination directory (pulled from other random places), files and
directories NOT to include in the destination tree, or a list of specific
files to include (where files not listed are not included).
By using the DISTFILE <file> option you can generate different
distributions for different purposes all based in the same source tree.
For example, I have a DISTFILE set to create the registered and
non-registered DICE distributions and other DISTFILE files (using
different names) to create the three floppies in the registered
distribution.
In the first format, if the ONLY keyword is specified after the first
file name only these files / sub-directories will be included from this
directory. No other files will be copied
--- DISTFILE FORMAT #1 (this line not included) ---
file_or_dir_name ONLY
file_or_dir_name
file_or_dir_name
file_or_dir_name
file_or_dir_name
--- END DISTFILE FORMAT #1 (this line not included) ---
The second format allows files/directories to be made part of the
destination tree that do not necessarily exist in the current directory.
Additionally, specific files/directories that do exist in the current
directory can be excluded. Any file/dir not explicitly unincluded using
the 'no' keyword will be copied.
