Erik Erlandson commented on RAT-161: ------------------------------------ Philipp Ottlinger, it is OK with me to close the ticket. Supporting some kind of path-specific syntax seems like a useful feature to me, however as you say, the Spark ticket that raised the issue was resolved in some other way. I'm not aware of any other community motivation to pursue it. > Support exclusion of paths: "path/to/file.ext" > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: RAT-161 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-161 > Project: Apache Rat > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: reports > Reporter: Erik Erlandson > Priority: Minor > Attachments: RAT-161.2.patch > > > It would be advantageous to be able to exclude specific files, e.g. > "path/to/file.ext" > The current '-E' feature cannot do this, as the filter patterns are only > applied to individual files as directory tree is traversed, so a filter will > never see "path/to/file.ext", only "path", "to" and "file.ext" > See for example: SPARK-1493 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
