I do, with shell globs, tho I didn't bother checking the above to see if they'd have been affected. The two install-masks with globs I use here are: *.la (Unmasked on libtool itself, since it has a *.la file that other package's .configure scripts test for.) /etc/cron.*/ (I use systemd's timers in place of cron and thus crontablets.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
