Re: [leaf-devel] buildtool Type=list

Hi Martin

I have defined a number of links in my buildtool.cfg file, like

<File>
      Filename        = usr/lib/cups
      Type            = link
      Target          = data/cups/usr/lib/cups                       </File>


after running buildpacket I get now the following in the .lrp file

luna > ls -lR data
data:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  4 mega users 96 2007-10-25 13:23 cups

data/cups:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  4 mega users 96 2007-10-25 13:23 usr
drwxr-xr-x  4 mega users 96 2007-10-25 13:23 var

data/cups/usr:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 mega users 48 2007-10-25 13:23 lib
drwxr-xr-x  2 mega users 48 2007-10-25 13:23 share

data/cups/usr/lib:
total 0

data/cups/usr/share:
total 0

data/cups/var:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 mega users 48 2007-10-25 13:23 cache
drwxr-xr-x  2 mega users 48 2007-10-25 13:23 spool

data/cups/var/cache:
total 0

data/cups/var/spool:
total 0

Which suggests that the target directories get created in the .lrp file.
In my case, this is not the desired behaviour, as I want to mount the
target on a flash disk to not waste too much memory for simple one-shot
utilities.

Is there a way to avoid the creation of the target directories and just
cresate the link?

Also I observed that the symbolic links are created relatively, e.g.

luna > ls -l usr/lib/cups
lrwxrwxrwx  1 mega users 28 2007-10-25 13:36 usr/lib/cups ->
../../data/cups/usr/lib/cups

even if I prepend the target with a slash, which is not a problem within
LEAF, but may not be the desired behaviour.

I am using buildpacket v1.40

cheers
