tazwok $src directory

["rcx" <rcx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

When tazwok extracts a source archive, it extracts to the root of the package folder (e.g. /home/slitaz/wok/<package> ).  The $src variable then assumes that those source archives have a root folder of $SOURCE-$VERSION.

 

Am I missing a property that can be used to change these default source directories?  For example, some source archives don't package everything inside a root folder, so when tazwok unpackages such source archives, everything gets dumped under the wok package folder (alongside the "receipt" file, "stuff" folder, etc.), making it a mess to cleanup.  Meanwhile, $src thinks it is a directory that really doesn't exist (e.g. /home/slitaz/wok/<package>/$SOURCE-$VERSION).

 

If there isn't a configurable property, would it be possible (without breaking too many things) to have tazwok extract the source archive to a "src" folder inside the tazwok package directory?  For example, this directory structure might look like the following:

/home/slitaz/wok/<package>/

 - src/

 - stuff/

 - receipt

 

Then, when the $src value is assigned, tazwok could check if /home/slitaz/wok/<package>/src/$SOURCE-$VERSION/ exists.  If is does exist, $src could be assigned the path where the last directory is $SOURCE-$VERSION (as it currently does); otherwise, $src could simply be assigned the value /home/slitaz/wok/<package>/src.  Optionally, if the root of the source archive only contains a single folder, $src could be assigned that folder path even if the directory name is not $SOURCE-$VERSION.

 

Does this make sense, or is there some mechanism already in place that I have missed?

 

 

Thank you,

Matthew
