allows some folders, files to be added to the hex package

[benoitc]

I didn't see anyway yet to add some folders to the release. In my case I wanted to add a "support" folder to add some scripts and I wasn't able to include them in the source package except in the priv folder. But in that case such files would be shipped in the release.

Having a folders or packages property in the .app.src for such purpose would be useful IMO. Thoughts?

Check files under "Adding metadata to .app.src". https://hex.pm/docs/rebar3_publish

ah it isn't documented on rebar3.org :) thanks!

[ericmj]

Maybe rebar3.org should link to hex.pm if they don't have full overlap?

cc @tsloughter it sounds like a good idea. One way or the other would make it easier to track.

[tsloughter]

Ah, yes.

Back on this issue. I just tried to use the files property. The annoying thing with it, is that is forcing to collect all the files here (even if we can use the wildcard).

What about adding an extra_files property that would only add extra files and still use the the list retrieved by the plugin? We could also have an exclude_files for that purpose.

Thoughts?
