INSTALL_MASK patterns starting with '-' to indicates that a specific match is to be excluded from being masked. details, see: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/29e128a9f41122fa0420c1140f7b7f94
How does this manifest itself? I might misunderstand this, but '-'-prefixed paths are currently ignored by qmerge -- thus not removed.
If memory serves right, you can have INSTALL_MASK="/some/dir -/some/dir/myfile" This will exclude everything in /some/dir but the /some/dir/myfile
ah, now I see. Thanks a lot.

This should implement the same behaviour as https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/29e128a9f41122fa0420c1140f7b7f94 Along the way some behavioural changes were made: - pretend mode now prints what would be merged (use with -y to be useful) - directory objects are recorded and merged again Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/656318 Signed-off-by: Fabian Groffen <grobian@gentoo.org> qmerge.c | 561 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 393 insertions(+), 168 deletions(-)
