[erlang-questions] priv dir in escript

[Karlo Kuna]

OK,

i have got it to work
having followed Tristan's advice and also looking at rebar3 source code

this is my conclusion:
{escript_incl_extra, [{"<wildcard_pattern>", "_build/default/lib/"}]}.

escript_incl_extra is using wildcard_pattern to search for files so if you
want all nested files one would write: "my_app/priv/**".
In the result empty folders are omitted (shame)!
