Yes we have inhouse packages to do things like:
* install a special version of apache
* upgrade an 4.x system to 4.8 (including XF86 4.3 and autoamtically
upgrade the config files needed.
* Take a nameserver and change it to be running in a sandbox
* install local tools
* install an inhouse 'fsck'
* install special printing stuff.
* hacked versions of tar and other tools.
* Add all current security updates to a 4.4 system (6 packages)
etc.
Sometimes it's a pain to have to install the package before one can
build it..
The trouble is that both the @srcdir and the @cwd produce
'-C [dir]'
to be added to the 'tar' command list
I see several possible fixes..
1/ add code so that when there is a '@srcdir' operator,
the next '@cwd' does not add a '-C dir'.
2/ add code so that after a '@srcdir' or '-s' is seen '@cwd' no longer
EVER adds a -C
3/ add code so that the
'-C [dir]' from a '@cwd' is only added if the next operation is NOT a
'@srcdir'
4/ add code so that @cwd doesn't produce a
-C [dir]
if the immediatly previous commad was a '@srcdir'
In addition, the man page says:
-s srcdir
srcdir will override the value of @cwd during package
creation.
This doesn't happen either..
However it suggests that -s should over-ride *ALL* '@cwd' operations.
Does that mean that a @srcdir should override ALL following @cwd
operators for package build? (option 2) or just the next one? (option 4)
it is also unsure how -s and -p are supposed to interract.
