Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-352: --------------------------------------- [~nchammas] sorry - I just read your comment on RAT-323. > Enable use of wildcard expressions in exclude file > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: RAT-352 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-352 > Project: Apache Rat > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: cli > Reporter: Nicholas Chammas > Priority: Minor > > Due to the widespread use of git, I would find it much more intuitive if > .rat-excludes worked like .gitignore. I think most people on the Spark > project would agree (though, fair disclosure, I haven't polled them). > Would it make sense to add a CLI option instructing RAT to interpret entries > in the exclude file as wildcard expressions (as opposed to regular > expressions) that work more or less like .gitignore? > This feature request is somewhat related to RAT-265. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
