copy generated files (from post-build of project) to output directory

I'm crunching my css and js into single files (the file name is all.[hash].js and all.[hash].css).
The hash is generated and changing if one of the css/js was changed (to ensure client will get the new file as needed).

As part of the post-build, I'm crunching the files and copying them to my static directory.
Is there a way to inform AppHarbor publish process to copy these files (think of it as the opposite of .gitignore :)) ?

    Currently, no. All files to copy need to be included in the project file, which is a bit difficult if you're generating the file as part of the build process.

    You can try included a "all.js" as part of the project and overwriting it. By doing so, you'll have to add the hash part to the query string to work around browser caching.

    You can also set up a handler to respond to .css and .js requests and combine the static files on the first request, if the cache cannot be found.

    If none of these works, please submit a request to http://feedback.appharbor.com/
