Yes, thank you for the response; I am in the process of moving my project from MSVC solution to out-of-source cmake builds.
Please ignore the fact that I used a generated file in my previous example, that's tangential to the problem I'm reporting. Pretend that the set statement is: set( CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES "/Build/;/\\\\.hg/;/\\\\.svn/;/\\\\.txt/" ) I still can't get this to work. I am wondering if I have the slashes right. The funny thing is, it does properly exclude my .svn folder.
