I think there are bugs. I was suprised that the transform is not very polished
yet. I tried to use a bit more complicated example which didn't work.
files:
any::
"$(stowdir)/$(fullname)/"
comment => "Unzip the package.",
create => "true",
transformer => "/usr/bin/tar -xof $(stowdir)/$(fullname).$(suffix) -C
$(stowdir)",
ifvarclass => "restow_$(name)";
Simpler tar example works
files:
any::
"/tmp/cf_to_tar"
create => "true";
"/tmp/cf_transform_test.tbz"
comment => "Transform test.",
create => "true",
transformer => "/usr/bin/tar -czf $(this.promiser) /tmp/cf_to_tar";
but doesn't print anything when inform is true.
In conclusion I couldn't either get transform work without "$(this.promiser)",
but maybe transformation with a script that creates the file works.
I think that the output shouldn't go to the file.
