Package: darcs
Version: 2.0.0~pre2-1
Severity: wishlist
waf is a build tool analogous to scons or make.
http://code.google.com/p/waf
Commands like "./waf configure" generate ignorable metadata in
predictable locations that are unlikely to be used for non-ignorable
files. I suggest extending the default ignore list with these
entries:
(^|/)\.waf-[[:digit:].]+-[[:digit:]]+($|/)
(^|/)\.lock-wscript$
Unfortunately, there are also ignorable metadata placed in an
unpredicatable location based on the --blddir switch and/or the blddir
setting in ./wscript (waf's equivalent of ./GNUmakefile). Because the
location is unpredictable they cannot be added to the default
boringfile list. This build directory seems to contain files with the
predictable names _cache_/, .wafpickle and .wscript-trybuild, so it may be
useful to
ignore these by default also.
PS: I have been studying waf for only a few hours, so it is possible
that waf creates other metadata that can be ignored by default.
