Cirrus Discussion

Question

Since there isn't a seperate forum on this (yet) I wanted to start this thread.  Once question I had is Cirrus smart enough to only back up a device config if it has changed?  I really would not need multiple copies of the same configuration.  I would like to keep the last 10 versions of device configs (which are different).

bleearg13,

I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to setup Rancid.  Would you be willing to send a list of the RegExs that you would like to see in Cirrus?

Would anyone else?

Please post here if you have some... Thanks!

P.S. Compare RegEx's are headed to testing, Won't be long now.

Since there are some lines that always change on every download (ntp, wlcpp, etc), the compare after download always thinks the config was changed. The list of RegEx expressions to ignore needs to be fully functional first.

You might want to take a look at what Rancid uses for its ignore list:

Bryan,
The Configs are not compared during download at this time.

That "RegEx ignore list" feature was a little buggy at the time of initial release, so this option was postponed.
It is currently being worked on.
