We could also say pack everything that is in that stage directory. The problem is right now I do like static plist because if something fails to build for $reason, that the plist doesn't find a file in the staging area and we notice quite quickly that something as failed. with autoplist or globbing we do lose this feature and we need to way deal with it. In anycase we won't make full autoplist because we still need to be able to specify credentials files per files if needed. But glob is really appealing :) regards, Bapt
