All,
Need a little direction on package creation. This issue
is hitting me on both 8.0, 8.2 and 9.0 FreeBSD (amd64)
releases.
I'm trying to create a package using pkg_create with
the intention of installing under /usr/local. However,
my build environment is private (not under /usr/ports
or /usr/src) and I *do not* install before creating
the package file.
My problem is that if I have the following in my
package list file -
@cwd /usr/local
@srcdir .
...
relative filepaths
...
The the pkg_create fails with tar complaining about
not being able to source the files, even though I
invoke pkg_create at the top of the subtree and the
files are relative to my current working directory.
I have also tried the '-s `pwd`' option to pkg_create
as well, with no success.
Removing the @cwd line allows the package to be built.
Reading the man page it states
"@srcdir directory
Set the internal directory pointer for _creation only_ to
directory. That is to say that it overrides @cwd for
package creation but not extraction."
Which seems to be what I want but why is it not overriding?
Any pointers are welcomed.
Thanks,
Patrick
