I only just recently I published my first blog post on stevedore, now it is time for a follow up.
This is the first release since that blog post, which pretty much described release 0.7.0 of my side-project: stevedore (see: GitHub repository)
As the project matures I have come up with a few more ideas and I have extended the descriptions of some of the things I want to do.

Issue #5 has been implemented some time ago and with release 0.8.0 issue #19 was closed.
Starting to use stevedore on some of my other projects demonstrated that it was a bad idea to emit: ".
" for possible inclusion in a .dockerignore
file, since what I am aiming for is something along the lines of:
stevedore --included . >> .dockerignore
The files included in Docker image would be:
.
.DS_Store
.dockerignore
.editorconfig
.github
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
.github/auto_assign.yml
.github/dependabot.yml
.github/renovate.json
.github/workflows
.github/workflows/markdownlint.yml
.github/workflows/publish.yml
.github/workflows/spellcheck.yml
.gitignore
.markdownlint.json
.spellcheck.yml
.stevedoreignore
.yakignore
.yaksums.json
CONTRIBUTING.md
_config.yml
assets
assets/ebirah_by_zappazee.png
cpanfile
cpanfile.snapshot
dictionary.dic
ebirah.code-workspace
And the files already excluded by the .dockerignore
file would be:
.wordlist.txt
CHANGELOG.md
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
Dockerfile
LICENSE
README.md
prototypes
prototypes/Dockerfile
prototypes/ebirah.sh
Based on the existing .dockerignore
file
CHANGELOG.md
Dockerfile
LICENSE
README.md
prototypes
.wordlist.txt
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
But as you can see the ".
" was emitted from our invocation, which we wanted to use for updating our .dockerignore
file.
From release 0.8.0 this is not longer the case. So now we can do:
stevedore --included . >> .dockerignore
CHANGELOG.md
Dockerfile
LICENSE
README.md
prototypes
.wordlist.txt
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
.DS_Store
.dockerignore
.editorconfig
.github
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
.github/auto_assign.yml
.github/dependabot.yml
.github/renovate.json
.github/workflows
.github/workflows/markdownlint.yml
.github/workflows/publish.yml
.github/workflows/spellcheck.yml
.gitignore
.markdownlint.json
.spellcheck.yml
.stevedoreignore
.yakignore
.yaksums.json
CONTRIBUTING.md
_config.yml
assets
assets/ebirah_by_zappazee.png
cpanfile
cpanfile.snapshot
dictionary.dic
ebirah.code-workspace
Now we just need to do a manual change, since we need: cpanfile
and cpanfile.snapshot
to be included in the Docker image.
So our final .dockerignore
files will look as follows:
CHANGELOG.md
Dockerfile
LICENSE
README.md
prototypes
.wordlist.txt
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
.DS_Store
.dockerignore
.editorconfig
.github
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
.github/auto_assign.yml
.github/dependabot.yml
.github/renovate.json
.github/workflows
.github/workflows/markdownlint.yml
.github/workflows/publish.yml
.github/workflows/spellcheck.yml
.gitignore
.markdownlint.json
.spellcheck.yml
.stevedoreignore
.yakignore
.yaksums.json
CONTRIBUTING.md
_config.yml
assets
assets/ebirah_by_zappazee.png
!cpanfile
!cpanfile.snapshot
dictionary.dic
ebirah.code-workspace
This is good, but we do need to address the issue of: cpanfile
and .cpanfile
being reported as not ignored, hence included, but these are handled, so I somehow need to indicate this, so it is back to the drawing board.

Emits a verbose message on the new handling of ".
".
. is ignored, but traversed by stevedore by default
In addition to this new problem I need to handle, I would also like to emit a more intelligent proposal for the .dockerignore
file. For example collapsing .github
etc. I have already created an issue for this (#18).
Well .github
should perhaps be included in .stevedoreignore
as .git
and local
, but assets/
could be collapsed into a single: assets/
instead of listing all contents separately.
I know this will be more easy to maintain, I am however unsure whether it has any impact on performance, perhaps some benchmarking would be beneficial, before making a decision.
As mentioned in the change log (see below), I am not completely satisfied with the solution of hard-coding handling of ".
" inside stevedore, but it will do for now. Perhaps a better solution will show itself as stevedore evolves.

- "
.
" was included in the ignore pattern output, which does not really make sense, so it has been eliminated from the output. It is not super solution since it is no so flexible, but it will have to do for now, ref: #19
