<FileGroup> element

  • Article

Defines a rule by which files are added to a chunk, which is a collection of files that should be installed as a group.

Syntax

<FileGroup
  SourcePath = string
  DestinationPath = string
  Include = string />

Attributes

SourcePath

Required. The source of files against which the rule is run. The path is relative to the content directory that's passed in with the /d parameter to the makepkg tool.

DestinationPath

Required. The target destination where files that are matched by the rule are placed in the file system of the generated image. This attribute should specify only the directory name. It shouldn't include the file name.

Include

Required. The rule for matching files under this source location. You can use a path that's relative to the source location, the standard "*" and "?" wildcards, and/or environment variables.

Remarks

This element isn't recursive. Every directory to be included must be specified by its own FileGroup element.
