Rsync: lidando com links simbólicos absolutos

Question

Depois de ler a página do manual do rsync, não consigo ver nenhuma maneira de o rsync transformar automaticamente links simbólicos absolutos entre as máquinas, ou seja,

Server A
file -> /home/username/path/file

Server B
file -> /home/differentusername/path/file

Alguma idéia (tendo em mente que o rsync só seria executado em / home / username /)?

De man rsync :

. . .

If you want to duplicate a server-side symlink, include both the symlink via its path, and referent directory via its real path.

. . .

It is also possible to limit the amount of path information that is sent as implied directories for each path you specify. With a modern rsync on the sending side (beginning with 2.6.7), you can insert a dot and a slash into the source path, like this:

rsync -avR /foo/./bar/baz.c remote:/tmp/

That would create /tmp/bar/baz.c on the remote machine. (Note that the dot must be followed by a slash, so “/foo/.” would not be abbreviated.)
