Re: [Orgmode] Publishing htaccess files with a project

[Jeff Horn]

We had a bit of a discussion off list, but I still haven't been able
to get the behavior I am after. See below.

<snip>
When I make the change as you have suggested above, I get the original
file not found error.

>From the *Messages* buffer:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select command:
Publishing file /Users/jeffreyhorn/org/ftr/.htaccess using
`org-publish-attachment'
org-publish-attachment: Opening input file: No such file or directory,
/Users/jeffreyhorn/org/ftr/.htaccess
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my project definition as it stands now:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("ftr-htaccess"
        :base-directory "~/org/ftr/"
        :publishing-directory "~/Sites/FTR/"
        :recursive t
        :base-extension "org"
        :exclude ".org"
        :include (".htaccess")
        :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</snip>

With this configuration, Sebastian and I were expecting the
org-publish-attachment function to pick up the .htaccess file and push
it to the publishing-directory. Instead, publishing exits with very
little information (and no Backtrace is triggered). The information I
have available is quoted above.

I may be making an obvious mistake, and any further help would be
gratefully accepted.
