filter.xml | cq5 | vault

I have a requirement wherein I have to make sure that installed package should only overwrite content of English translations (i.e. en.xml) not for other translations

info

I have got following filter

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/apps/project">
        <exclude pattern="/apps/project/i18n/(.*)?" />
        <include pattern="/apps/project/i18n/*en(.?xml)" />
    </filter>
</workspaceFilter>

But somehow I am not able to avoid en_gb getting overwritten. I tried following filters:

/apps/uag-vrm-portal/i18n/*en(.?xml)
/apps/uag-vrm-portal/i18n/en(.xml*)

Maybe I miss something, but why can't you set the filter to the en node only and exclude the other english language nodes?

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/apps/project/i18n/en">
        <exclude pattern="/apps/project/i18n/en_.*"/>
    </filter>
</workspaceFilter>

If you need all the other languages, except en_gb you could exclude this explicitly.

I think the problem here is the wide filter "/apps/project". What it is trying to do is, on installing the package, it is just adding a node named "apps" and then adding a node named "apps/project" and then it is replacing everything that is under "/apps/project". So, you need to make your filter more specific. For example, the following should work in your case - 

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/apps/project/i18n">
        <exclude pattern="/apps/project/i18n(/.*)?"/>
        <include pattern="/apps/project/i18n/en(/.*)?"/>
    </filter>
</workspaceFilter>

I recommend avoiding a mix of include & exclude rules inside a single filter. You could break it up into multiple filters:

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/apps/project/components" />
    <filter root="/apps/project/core" />
    <filter root="/apps/project/i18n/en/(.*)" />
</workspaceFilter>

or try to write with only exclude patterns:

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
  <filter root="/apps/project">
    <exclude pattern="/apps/project/i18n/es(.*)?" />
    <exclude pattern="/apps/project/i18n/en_gb(.*)?" />
  </filter>
</workspaceFilter>

or write multiple include patterns (an exercise I leave to you).

But the combination of include and exclude patterns are fighting each other - with no way to determine which pattern takes precedence.
