Hi, With some help from otavio and SynrG on IRC, here is a different patch for excluding files and directories from the root filesystem. It removes the excluded dirs from the chroot copy, which means it works for any current or future root filesystem format.
It treats any whitespace in the exclusion file as a separator, which means
means it's impossible to exclude a file or directory that contains a space
in its name. I don't think any Debian package uses spaces in file names, so
I guess this is not a problem.
Please tell me whether the patch is acceptable like this or whether there
are things I should change.
Bye,
Maarten
