Claude Warren updated RAT-352:
------------------------------
Parent: (was: RAT-323)
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Sub-task)
> Define a .ratignore file and processor (Was: Enable use of wildcard
> expressions in exclude file)
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-352
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client - cli
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: low-hanging-fruit
> Fix For: 0.17
>
>
> Due to the widespread use of git, I would find it much more intuitive if
> .rat-excludes worked like .gitignore. I think most people on the Spark
> project would agree (though, fair disclosure, I haven't polled them).
> Would it make sense to add a CLI option instructing RAT to interpret entries
> in the exclude file as wildcard expressions (as opposed to regular
> expressions) that work more or less like .gitignore?
> This feature request is somewhat related to RAT-265.
