bzr ignore for all executables files under Linux


Is there a way to make bazaar to ignore all executable files under Linux? They don't have a particular extension, so I'm not able to accomplish this with regexp.

Thank you very much.


Solution

  • If all your executables were under a certain directory, you can ignore the directory content (eg. bzr ignore "mybindir/*"). I realize this isn't exactly what you want, but other than bialix's work around I don't think there is a better answer at the moment. It might be possible in future to add a keyword like EXECUTABLE: to the .bzrignore file which will indicate what you need. Even better would be to be able to chain them eg. EXECUTABLE:RE:someprefix.+ .
