Support for exclude_patterns?

[oubiwann]

Hex has the ability to exclude files from hex.pm package uploads (e.g, image files) via the exclude_patterns directive:

• https://hexdocs.pm/hex/Mix.Tasks.Hex.Build.html#module-package-configuration

Is this currently possible with rebar3_hex?

If not, could support for this be added?

Note that I tried adding the directive to my src/*.app.src file in a project but had no success ... might be doing in wrong? git grep and Google searches turned up nothing for rebar3 + hex.

The only way I've found to get what I need is explicitly list the files that should be included in the pages with {files: [ ... ]} in the *.app.src file :-(

There's also an exclude_files option, which doesn't use patterns but lets you explicitly drop some files from everything.

@oubiwann What Fred said, but also I'm about to be in this area and we're about to break the interface for v7, so should be to make this happen.

This is actually already supported, it simply was not documented, it is now per a PR about I'm about to send up. exclude_regexps may be set in .app.src.

I do like the name exclude_patterns better though, let's make it so!
