rsync not working due to changing comments


when rsync the file "rsync2.dnswl.org::dnswl/generic-dnswl" it is changed (and downloaded) on every hour even though only the comment header in the file changes.

The output of a diff:


diff generic-dnswl.old generic-dnswl

3c3

< # Exported at 2021-10-06 11:48:34 with /opt/jobs/bin/export//export-generic.pl

---

> # Exported at 2021-10-06 13:48:37 with /opt/jobs/bin/export//export-generic.pl

This makes rsync less effective. Please consider removing the timestamp information "Exported at <timestamp>" from the file. There is already the file's timestamp. No need to repeat here.
