I run 2.1.0-RELEASE.
I have tried various syntaxes, including among others:
tar cvfX test.tar excludefile *
tar cvXf test.tar excludefile *
tar -c -v -f test.tar -X excludefile *
tar -c -v -X excludefile -f test.tar *
tar -c -v -f test.tar --exclude-from excludefile *
tar -c -v -f test.tar --exclude exclude.me *
In excludefile I have put lines with filenames, I have tried
absolute filenames, only filenames without path and ./filenames.
Nothing works. The named file is never excluded.
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks for your time! Please cc me, my mailsystem (or someone on the way)
has the ugly habit of truncating the digests.
