[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1026974: Bug#1026974: Cannot exclude a component from consideration using !

[Israel Galadima]

Hi Julian,

These are some excerpts from pkg-js-tools manpage:

debian/nodejs/additional_components is used to set some subdirectories that
should be considered as components even if they are not listed in
debian/watch. Starting from pkg-js-tools version 0.12.0 and 0.12.7, the
packages field in lerna.conf and workspaces field in package.json are used
to automatically detect additional components. If a component should not be
considered i.e, not automatically detected, insert its name preceded by a
"!" in debian/nodejs/additional_components.

>From the above, I don't think "!" in debian/nodejs/additional_components is
used to exclude a component listed in debian/watch.
