Debian :: Ftpsync Still Downloading Old Files Despite Exclude?

I was thinking of migrating my apt-mirror repository to the recommended ftp scrips: [URL] .....

I pre populated my pool with already downloaded files, and setup the scripts.

However, if I run the bin/ftpsync, and monitor rsync with lsof -p, I can see that it is still downloading files from oldstable (wheezy) despite exclude options.

I'm guessing it's a configuration error, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any thoughts? My etc/ftpsync.conf is as follows:

Code: Select allMIRRORNAME=`hostname -f`
TO="/server_storage/srv/mirrors/debian"
RSYNC_PATH="debian"
RSYNC_HOST=ftp.us.debian.org
LOGDIR="${BASEDIR}/log"

[Code] ....

Actually, I don't think it works like I thought it did. A few guides I found listed the exclude options, but the sample config file has this:

Code: Select all## If you do want to exclude files from the mirror run, put --exclude statements here.
## See rsync(1) for the exact syntax, these are passed to rsync as written here.
## DO NOT TRY TO EXCLUDE ARCHITECTURES OR SUITES WITH THIS, IT WILL NOT WORK!
#EXCLUDE=""

So it looks like it doesn't exclude the suites at all.
