I have had some success but it's not quite right.. What I'd like to make it do is: unpack the 'stuff' into a temporary directory somewhere. run the install script delete the install directory The trouble is that I can't work out how to get the files unpacked there and have the install script get them from there.. I can get it to unpack them into the final locations, and I can get the install script to run and find them there, but I need the install script to modify stuff and I'd rather have it all done in the temp directory if possible, and then istalled into the final location.. also I have can not make the @srcdir option work in the packing list.. does it work?
