Add [configuration_files_to_ignore] directive in .mackup/*.cfg files
I want to sync my personal ./bin
directory, and I add stuff to it fairly frequently. But I also keep some symbolic links in there (e.g. to JavaScript Core, which is deep in /System/Library
), and Mackup freaks out when it encounters an existing symbolic link.
Barring a way for Mackup to handle existing symlinks gracefully, it would be nice if I could just add an section to my homebin.cfg
file that excludes those few files. Something like this:
[application]
name = Home binaries
[configuration_files]
.bin
[configuration_files_to_ignore]
.bin/jsc
I believe the issue with encountering existing symlinks are covered by other issues, but if someone tells me it'd be a good idea, I'll add another issue just for that.
Resurrecting an old issue but this would be great, I'm currently having problems with One Drive because it doesn't allow files that contain Windows illegal filename characters to be stored, and I need to blacklist some application's offending log files.
