Mood:

Tomorrow’s my last work day before a week’s vacation. Then back to work for a week, then another week off. Since Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years all fall on the weekend, they would owe us all 3 days off in lieu, so they just decided to give us the week between Christmas and New Years off. Nice!

Unfortunately, because I’m “the guy” and get lots of questions from every department, they need to make sure the company can handle my time away. That means making sure all my tasks are complete before I leave work tomorrow, which probably means overtime (sigh).

In between tasks I’ve been working on a project using mkisofs.exe to auto-create an ISO of our software CD every time the developers perform a build, but have been having problems figuring out how to use wildcards in the path-list file. It keeps giving me errors when I try. The other option would be to list the directory in the file and follow up with exclusions, but it looks like you can’t use exclusions when you use the path-list file. Any ideas from the *nix-heads out there? I’m using a Cygwin port of mkisofs.
