Hello, I found that some source files in the debian pool have tar.xz extension. These files are not exluded when source are excluded in ftpsync. The solution I use is to simply add "--exclude *.tar.xz" to the SOURCE_EXCLUDE variable. SOURCE_EXCLUDE=" --exclude source/ --exclude *.tar.gz --exclude *.diff.gz --exclude *.tar.bz2 --exclude *.diff.bz2 --exclude *.dsc --exclude *.tar.xz " Hope it can help, Olivier Fournel
