blueprintignore(d)

[Shawn Adams]

Hi. New to blueprint. Like it so far.

We are trying to use blueprint as a configuration management tool on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Blueprint was installed with "pip install blueprint"
We have Matlab installed in /usr/local. This eats up about 5GB of space. I have therefore put the base dir for Matlab in /etc/blueprintignore as:

:sources:/usr/local/MATLAB

Unfortunately, it does not seem to get ignored when running blueprint create.

I get :

# [blueprint] caching excluded Yum packages

Am I missing something?

I believe it's as simple as changing that line to

:source:/usr/local/MATLAB

per blueprintignore(5). Let me know if that helps!
