Perhaps the thing glossed over is that in the file the list points to,
insufficient emphasis is placed on the format of a line, it needs an
anchor point of ./ so that it only applies to that file, or dir and
below it if the name is a directory.
As for an example:
define dumptype shop-tar-comp {
global
compress client best
exclude list "/GenesAmandaHelper-0.61/excludes"
}
And that excludes list files content:
./*.iso
./.gvfs
./Ksocket-gene
./orbit-gene
./init
./lock
./run
./rpc_pipefs
The filename itself is I think immaterial as long as its matched.
"excludes" above could both be one of the Kardashians. ;-)
