[13:54] <foo> If I want to copy files from local drive to portable drive, and if I want to remove on source as copying, I think I want rsync -av --remote-source-files source/ destination/ - correct?
[14:02] <sdeziel> foo: sounds right. When in doubt with rsync, you can always add `-vni` for verbose, dry-run and itemize-changes
[14:02] <foo> ! Thanks
[14:03] <foo> ubottu: I wasn't thanking you, I was thanking sdeziel and his real humanness
[14:05] <sdeziel> foo: you are welcome :)
[15:18] <foo> sdeziel: I think I actually want: --delete-after          receiver deletes after transfer, not before ... if I want to delete files after they're transferred on source (eg. trying to free up space on my source drive and move things to destination)
[15:21] <sdeziel> foo: I think --delete-after is meant to cleanup the destination to remove files that were not in the source to begin with. Maybe you just want to `mv` the stuff from your source to your destination?
[15:44] <esv> it is always good to test with a small sample of files that you don't care losing
[15:58] <foo> sdeziel: yes, I'll look into move, thank you
[16:02] <foo> sdeziel: oh, if you're referring to the mv command, my concern with that is if something happens during transfer a file getting corrupted midway which is why I like rsync. I can sync things and then clean up as needed. Maybe I underestimate mv and it's smarter than that
[20:44] <Phibs> Anyone know why when trying to build mwy own ice-dkms pkg, make in the source tree works but a dkms mkdeb created deb fails at the final step?
