I have setup an SSB project on a Linux host and copied the sandbox..properties files to linux..properties and set the SPTARGET=linux
But when i run: build/ant import-custom dist the linux.ignorefiles.properties is ignored. it was supposed to to skip the artifacts in Configuration/Prod/*
but it imports all artifacts no matter what i specify in the ignorefiles.properties.
The content of the provided ignorefiles sample form the SSB explains it all (and much better than I could )
# A file that contains which XML files should be removed/redacted from the
# automated imports and file copies for a specific environment. For example:
# sandbox.ignorefiles.properties - lists files not imported into SANDBOX
# uat.ignorefiles.properties - lists files not imported into UAT
# prod.ignorefiles.properties - lists files not imported into PRODuction
#
# The file format:
# The # signs are comments, like unix shell script fashion.
# Files to ignore should be named in path relative to the .../config/
# directory of the services standard build (for import restriction only).
# One file name should be specified per line of this file.
# Unix slashes (/) should be used as separators on both Windows and unix environments.
#
# Technically, each non-comment line in this file is treated as a pattern
# for fileSet exclusion in Ant. This is utilized by the fileset type which,
# in turn, consumes this file with excludesfile.
#
# Examples like this exclude from import operations:
# custom/Application/Application-AD-Partner.xml
# custom/Workflow/Workflow-QuickTermination.xml
#
# Examples like this exclude from import AND copy operations (note they
# are just more aggressive search patterns):
# Application/Application-AD-Partner.xml
# Workflow/Workflow-QuickTermination.xml
#
# All non-filename lines in this file should start with a # character (comment).
