[pbs-devel] look-ahead in regex group filter for sync jobs not allowed

[pbs-devel] look-ahead in regex group filter for sync jobs not allowed

Hi,

I try to exclude one vm from a sync job but it seems it's not possible.
There is no invert option for filter and the regex doesn't allow 
(negativ) look-ahead.

It's possible that my regex foo is not good enough but I think also for 
the filter types "Type" and "Group" it should be possible to invert the 
filter.

I would believe it's a common use case to sync this one big vm separate 
from the tiny vms.

Or do I miss something?

thanks

Harald

it's one of the parts that's still missing, there are basically two approaches
- add some flag to individual filters to invert them (e.g., prefix them with '!')
- add a second filter parameter for exclusion

and we haven't decided on one yet. shouldn't be too hard to implement though.

Hi,

thanks for the bugzilla link. Hope you find sometime for this feature.

Having 2 lists (include and exclude) would be a flexibel solution since 
the filter is a OR filter...

regards,

Harald
