Managing Fileset Content
•Recursive - The recursive option adds the selected directory and all its contents recursively. Individual filenames are listed in the PSF.
•File * - This option is similar to the Recursive option; however, all files are implicitly added and represented only by an asterisk ( * ). The individual filenames are not listed in the PSF using this option. If you want to recursively include files and directories from the Source Filesystem without explicitly listing each file and directory, select the File * option.
•Include - This option allows you to enable the ability to map a file to the Destination Filesystem, which consists of a list of files, in PSF syntax, to include in the package.
IMPORTANT |
| If File * is used to add files, you will not be able to display the individual |
|
| filenames from the Destination Filesystem. This makes it difficult to |
|
| determine if you are delivering more files or directories than intended. A |
|
| common problem encountered when using the File * option is the |
|
| accidental inclusion of source control directories (e.g., RCS, CVS) and/or |
|
| editor scratch files to the package. Selecting the Recursive option is an |
|
| alternative way to explicitly add all files and directories under a |
|
| particular directory. Using the Recursive option allows the packager to |
|
| display and verify the files and directories that will be included, avoiding |
|
| accidental inclusion of unnecessary files. |
