Yes. I vaguely remember commenting on this some time in the past but I can't fined it right now. Dropping the filter modification API is fine IMHO. And a list of exclude/include (+-) glob or regex patterns (like e.g. gitignores) is good. It seems like there are a few "configuration-like snippets" piling up in an artiq installation, like this filtering list. Can we somehow unify/merge them? -- Robert Jordens. _______________________________________________ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq
