For example, CVS directories usually have a hidden attribute. This is a very good candidate to use for getting those dirs skipped while recursive File-ing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Amir Szekely (kichik) Date: 2004-11-27 00:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=584402 Done for 2.03. File /r /x CVS * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Amir Szekely (kichik) Date: 2004-09-14 22:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=584402 There is already a program by Robert Segal that does this. You don't need to write your own script. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=150770&highlight=rsegal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-09-14 00:33 Message: Logged In: NO I second that. We have exactly the same problem: we don't want CVS directories to appear in the installation. Besides, we need to exclude some other files that are on the CVS but shouldn't appear in the installation. For now we shall solve this using include files (we shall have a Python script that will go through the subdirectories and create a .nsi include file with a File statement for each file we want in distribution). This is awkward and inconvenient, though. File could accept three new options /f <filename> would give a file with a list of files to be included, /e <filename> would exclude the <filename> and /x <filename> would give a file with the list of files to be excluded. The attributes are also not a bad idea, but it would not be sufficient for us. I believe that the proposed change doesn't require a lot of work, but can be very useful for many. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373088&aid=961374&group_id=22049 |
