[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1484990] Re: fsfreeze-hook script should also ignored dpkg generated files

[Thomas Huth]

Christian, what happened to the upstream patch? Looks like it never got
included? Could you please poke the maintainer, so we could finally
close this bug for upstream, too?

Title:
  fsfreeze-hook script should also ignored dpkg generated files

Status in QEMU:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,

  In the fsfreeze-hook script, the following code check if some of the
  files should be ignored:

  
  # Check whether file $1 is a backup or rpm-generated file and should be 
ignored
  is_ignored_file() {
      case "$1" in
          *~ | *.bak | *.orig | *.rpmnew | *.rpmorig | *.rpmsave | *.sample)
              return 0 ;;
      esac
      return 1
  }

  The functions should probably also skip dpkg generated files.

  I've found a list of the different extensions in the systemd source
  tree:
