Description Pat Double 2007-04-26 13:14:46 UTC

I am using catalyst to build a CD and SVN for version control. When the directory specified by livecd/overlay is copied, so is the .svn directory. This also happens for livecd/root_overlay but I put into the livecd/fsscript to find and remove these.

I would like catalyst to either explicitly ignore these directories or provide a way to post process using a script so I can remove them.

Reproducible: Always

The overlays need to be copied verbatim as I have no way of determining whether or not someone actually wants to have those files/directories on their CD.  We coculd do a script that is run outside the chroot, but other than this particular usage, it isn't that useful IMO.  Were you a member of Release Engineering, I would simply tell you to make your overlays look exactly how you want them on your media.  Even though you are not, I give you the exact same advice.
