Testing branch: shrink-backup.conf <> exclude.txt

[sneumeister]

Hello,

Downloaded the latest shrink-backup from tesing branch to continue some tests regarding umount issue.

Started shrink-backup with option -t which means

  -t            Use exclude.txt in same folder as script to set excluded directories
                  One directory per line: "/dir" or "/dir/*" to only exclude contents

The shrink-backup folder looks like this (exclude.txt exists):

-rw-r--r-- 1 1024 users 11885129216 Jul 25 23:59 backup_george_bookworm.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 1024 users          83 Aug  1  2023 exclude.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 1024 users        1539 Jun 25 17:20 LICENSE
-rw-r--r-- 1 1024 users       18192 Jun 25 17:00 README.md
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1024 users       99071 Jun 25 16:58 shrink-backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 1024 users        3342 Aug  6 21:51 shrink-backup.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1024 users      100836 Aug  6 21:44 shrink-backup-testing

But shrink-backup drops an error:

pi@george:/mnt/netbackup/shrink-backup $ sudo /mnt/netbackup/shrink-backup/shrink-backup-testing -atlz /mnt/netbackup/shrink-backup/backup_george_bookworm.img
## Debugging requested, writing to log file: /mnt/netbackup/shrink-backup/shrink-backup.log
## Zoom speed requested...
## Scanning filesystem and calculating...
!! ERROR! -f selected but shrink-backup.conf does not exist!

I did not select an -f option.

A command $ cp exclude.txt shrink-backup.conf solves the problem.

Is exclude.txt now replaced by shring-backup.conf ?
