I have the following filesets
snippet in my recipe:
library-shared:
- lib/**.so*
- usr/lib/**.so*
library-static:
- lib/**.a
- usr/lib/**.a
However it doesn’t seem to select any files, is it normal?

I see nothing in the filesets docs to indicate that double asterisks have any special meaning.
I somehow have a faint feeling that it did sometime ago…
Also, Use a recursive iglob for filesets (#765) · kalikiana/snapcraft@93c82f5
/cc @sergiusens
ok, I see. It should work then, even though it’s not documented (the code has moved but it’s still there)
Now, playing around with iglob
, it seems that if what you want is "any *.so*
file anywhere under lib
, the way to write that is lib/**/*.so*
. From the docs,
the pattern “
**
” will match any files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If the pattern is followed by anos.sep
, only directories and subdirectories match.
meaning that lib/**.so*
will match lib/foo.so
and lib/foo/.sowhat
but not lib/foo/bar.so
.

Thanks a million.
