Do you mean having an inventory based not only on names but also on
file
attributes too?
Well, I have a substantial tree, having about 20-30 libraries and
executables built. It is fairly easy to eliminate libraries since they
all follow the same naming convention lib*.so.*, but the executables
we build do not have a naming convention.
At the same time, they are the only files:
- it is a binary ELF executables (file would return predictable output)
- and it has its execute prmission set.
It looks like I am asking for too much, but it would be cool if you
could specify such a thing.
The most maintainable thing to do is separate your build from your
source trees. There are a lot of advantages to doing that.
Otherwise, just list the output files in inventory files in your tree.
