Looks like the zip command can too. No need to change your dev tree simply
exclude:
-x files
Explicitly exclude the specified files, as in:
zip -r foo foo -x \*.o
which will include the contents of foo in foo.zip while
excluding all the files that end in
.o. The backslash avoids the shell filename substitution,
so that the name matching is per-
formed by zip at all directory levels. If you do not escape
wildcards in patterns it may seem
to work but files in subdirectories will not be checked for
matches.
Also possible:
zip -r foo foo -x at exclude.lst
which will include the contents of foo in foo.zip while
excluding all the files that match the
patterns in the file exclude.lst (each file pattern on a
separate line).
