Build Team 2021 Sprint 3
Description
What's the issue?
The Windows build runs a Ruby cleanup script before creating the executable installer, this script has a few wildcard expressions for "unwanted" files which should be removed to save space; it looks like one of the wildcards is unexpectedly removing the installed documentation from 'cbbackupmgr'. This means that the documentation for 'cbbackupmgr' is absent in our Windows builds (meaning users can't use the '--help' flags for any commands).
Attached to this MB is an abandoned patch called 'WIP don't wildcard remove documentation' which comments this line. I created a toy build with this patch and can confirm that this is the reason the documentation is being removed.
What's the fix?
I imagine we will want a more fine grained solution to this problem than simply commenting the highlighted wildcard which is why I'm passing this MB onto the build team as I imagine they will have a solution that they'd find more preferable.
