Hello everyone,

When I configure my remote repositories, I exclude the synchronization of the wads folder because I do not deploy machines anywhere other than on site.

However, this folder is synchronized everywhere and takes up a lot of space on my small servers.

Hello,
As seen on Discord, it's the /opt/wapt/wapt-get.ini file in the secondary repository that needs to be modified to exclude the WADS directory from synchronization.
Best regards,
Bertrand
