Michael Hanselmann 2bafece093 Implement exclusions using regular expressions 
The existing option to exclude files and directories, “--exclude”, is
implemented using fnmatch[1]. fnmatch matches the slash (“/”) with “*”
and thus makes it impossible to write patterns where a directory with
a given name should be excluded at a specific depth in the directory
hierarchy, but not anywhere else. Consider this structure:

  home/
  home/aaa
  home/aaa/.thumbnails
  home/user
  home/user/img
  home/user/img/.thumbnails

fnmatch incorrectly excludes “home/user/img/.thumbnails” with a pattern
of “home/*/.thumbnails” when the intention is to exclude “.thumbnails”
in all home directories while retaining directories with the same name
in all other locations.

With this change regular expressions are introduced as an additional
pattern syntax. The syntax is selected using a prefix on “--exclude”'s
value. “re:” is for regular expression and “fm:”, the default, selects
fnmatch. Selecting the syntax is necessary when regular expressions are
desired or when the desired fnmatch pattern starts with two alphanumeric
characters followed by a colon (i.e. “aa:something/*”). The exclusion
described above can be implemented as follows:

  --exclude 're:^home/[^/]+/\.thumbnails$'

The “--exclude-from” option permits loading exclusions from a text file
where the same prefixes can now be used, e.g. “re:\.tmp$”.

The documentation has been extended and now not only describes the two
pattern styles, but also the file format supported by “--exclude-from”.

This change has been discussed in issue #43 and in change request #497.

Thomas Waldmann cb821b119b remove --log-level, add --debug and --info option, update docs 
removed --log-level due to overlap with how --verbose works now.

for consistency, added --info as alias to --verbose (as the effect is
setting INFO log level).

also added --debug which sets DEBUG log level.
note: there are no messages emitted at DEBUG level yet.

WARNING is the default (because we want mostly silent behaviour,
except if something serious happens), so we don't need --warning
as an option.

Thomas Waldmann 21bd01ef16 add a --filter option replacing --changed/--unchanged 
the problem here was that we do not just have changed and unchanged items,
but also a lot of items besides regular files which we just back up "as is" without
determining whether they are changed or not. thus, we can't support changed/unchanged
in a way users would expect them to work.

the A/M/U status only applies to the data content of regular files (compared to the index).
for all items, we ALWAYS save the metadata, there is no changed / not changed detection there.

thus, I replaced this with a --filter option where you can just specify which
status chars you want to see listed in the output.

E.g. --filter AM will only show regular files with A(dded) or M(odified) state, but nothing else.
Not giving --filter defaults to showing all items no matter what status they have.

Output is emitted via logger at info level, so it won't show up except if the logger is at that level.

Antoine Beaupré 8e36075fe9 commit usage files directly into git 
the generation of those files was causing us way too much pain to
justify automatically generating them all the time.

those will have to be re-generated with `build_api` or `build_usage`
as appropriate, for example when function signatures or commandline
flags change.

see #384
 2015-11-13 10:42:52 -05:00
Antoine Beaupré f13dd6e579 completely remove have_cython() hack 
this was making us require mock, which is really a test component and
shouldn't be part of the runtime dependencies. furthermore, it was
making the imports and the code more brittle: it may have been
possible that, through an environment variable, backups could be
corrupted because mock libraries would be configured instead of real
once, which is a risk we shouldn't be taking.

finally, this was used only to build docs, which we will build and
commit to git by hand with a fully working borg when relevant.

see #384.

Antoine Beaupré 6f9e04bc21 generalise the cython check hack 
instead of applying this only to usage generation, use it as a generic
mechanism to disable loading of Cython code.

it may be incomplete: there may be other places where Cython code is
loaded that is not checked, but that is sufficient to build the usage
docs. the environment variable used is documented as such in the
docs/usage.rst.

we also move the check to a helper function and document it
better. this has the unfortunate side effect of moving includes
around, but I can't think of a better way.

Instead, we put the readthedocs.org site as main website.

This reverts commit 8fe56f001c.
 2015-10-08 08:24:57 -04:00
Antoine Beaupré 8fe56f001c main website becomes RTD, main website link is pointless 2015-10-07 21:10:09 -04:00
Antoine Beaupré 13d3568548 move usage generation to setup.py 
this is an unfortunate rewrite of the manpage creation code mentionned
in #208. ideally, this would be rewritten into a class that can
generate both man pages and .rst files.

Antoine Beaupré 60d04b05a0 show the README on the homepage 
instead of a boring table of contents, try to show our more exciting README file

it's still a wall of text, but at least all the buzzwords and highlights are there

ideally, the table of contents would be in the sidebar, but i don't know how to do that

Antoine Beaupré ba0aeeb331 some fixes to the release engineering docs

well.

Thomas Waldmann ee66c4c435 remove docs about binary wheels 
we stop supporting them, because there are better alternatives:
- use a distribution package (from your linux distribution), if available
- use a pyinstaller binary provided by us (they include all you need in 1 file and
  thus have better compatibility properties and are easier to install than a wheel)
- install from source (pypi or git) if everything else fails
 2015-10-06 21:49:21 +02:00
Antoine Beaupré a0ef4e25dd add support for arbitrary SSH commands (attic#99) 
while SSH options can be specified through `~/.ssh/config`, some users
may want to use a completely different SSH command for their backups,
without overriding their $PATH variable. it may also be easier to do
ad-hoc configuration and tests that way.

plus, the POLA tells us that users expects something like this to be
supported by commands that talk to ssh. it is supported by rsync, git
and so on.

TW d27da99208 Merge pull request #230 from anarcat/api 
add automatically generated API
 2015-10-01 19:52:15 +02:00
Antoine Beaupré a2cf0025c2 add automatically generated API 
this is a crude hack for now, and could use a better table of contents

but at least we have some way of linking and showing the different
internal functions

the next phase here is obviously to document that API through the
addition of docstrings. a static api.rst could also be easier to read,
but maybe that could go through some docstrings as well, to be tested
 2015-09-30 18:35:57 -04:00

Antoine Beaupré e3433f433c generate usage include files only as needed 
right now, the update_usage script regenerates the usage files at
every call

by moving this into the makefile, we make those files be generated
only when the source file change, which makes testing docs much faster

once one adds the fuse dev stuff, llfuse installs to virtual env without problems.

this is most important, everything else can come after we got the reader's interest.

include README into docs to avoid duplication.
also include CHANGES into docs.
add developer docs, move examples from tox.ini there
add separate support docs
remove glossary, most of what was there can be understood by an admin from context
move attic and compatibility note to the end
