Vinod Kone commented on MESOS-916: ---------------------------------- gitignore works recursively so you don't need 9 different .gitignore files. For example this is how my .gitignore looks ➜ mesos git:(vinod/0.16.0) ✗ cat .gitignore # eclipse .cproject .project .pydevproject # reviewboard .reviewboardrc # git .gitignore # build dir build # automake junk autom4te.cache Makefile.in configure config.guess config.sub depcomp ar-lib ltmain.sh install-sh missing aclocal.m4 libtool.m4 ltoptions.m4 ltsugar.m4 ltversion.m4 lt~obsolete.m4 > add .gitignore-template file for ./bootstrap generated files > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MESOS-916 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-916 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Reporter: Charlie Carson > Assignee: Charlie Carson > Priority: Minor > > Running the ./bootstrap command to set up the enlistment for building > generates 35 files and 3 directories (which contain another 19 files) which > are not tracked by git in 9 directories. > In addition, the Developers Guide page recommends creating a build directory > to do builds from within. > The plan is to add a top level .gitignore-template file which will mask out > the build directory and the files / directories generated by ./bootstrap -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
