I should have documented the Files-Excluded field in the "Deleted file
specification" section. The "Implementation" section was supposed to
collect information for developers, but the name is quite inaccurate.
Feel free to modify the page.
However, I strongly disagree to interpret patterns differently
depending on whether they contain a slash or not, while "find -path"
alone handles your examples.
for pattern in
IGVDistribution_2.1.30/goby-io-igv.jar
._* */._*
*~
.DS_Store */.DS_Store
loop
`find "$main_source_dir" -path "$main_source_dir/$_" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf`;
end loop;
The objection you've raised in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00202.html
persists, but I consider that sparing a few patterns is not worth the
added complexity.
