405800 - Add a .bzrignore that ignores common files in the lib/ dir

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, enhancement)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

There's one valid file in the lib dir, and that's README. But I don't know how to tell CVS "ignore every file *except this one*" so we can just tell it to ignore common files. .htaccess definitely needs to be ignored. Probably all of the CPAN.pm files should be ignored too, since I'm planning on shipping that in the tarball (otherwise we risk the API of CPAN.pm changing and install-module stops working).

I think you should ignore everything in lib/.

  That would make it hard to change README. But I suppose we probably won't do that much, will we? I'm not sure what happens if you .cvsignore a file that's in Entries.

So move README in bugzilla/. :)

This seems to work fine, actually. I can still update lib/README if I want to, even.

I'm not sure a cvs up will pick up updates on lib/README if it's in .cvsignore. If it doesn't, then I'm with Frédéric to ignore everything. (Will ignoring everything result in ignoring .cvsignore?)

Good questions, I don't know the answers. However, it's possible to edit the .cvsignore file itself, but then if it's not updated...I don't know.

Bugzilla 3.2 is now frozen. Only enhancements blocking 3.2 or specifically approved for 3.2 may be checked in to the 3.2 branch. If you would like to nominate your enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2, set "blocking3.2" tp "?", and either the target milestone will be changed back, or the blocking3.2 flag will be granted, if we will accept this enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2.

I actually fixed this in bzr during the CVS to Bzr transition.
