some people seem to think that @cwd is broken. The man pages do not
explicitly state how @cwd should operate, but currently the directory
must exist for pkg_create to run properly.
This is extremely annoying because build machines *must* create the
final directory structure of the target install before the package can
be created.
So my question is, does the 5.2.1 version of pkg_create contain a bug or
is pkg_create really just very limited?
Try it with bsdtar as the system default tar
and see if that behaves any differently.
(WITH_BSDTAR=1 in /etc/make.conf).
I had read the above thread shortly before I
designed bsdtar's cwd handling, and it should
work. bsdtar stores directory change
requests but doesn't actually try to chdir()
until it sees a file. That way, extraneous
cwd requests get silently ignored, rather than
causing it to abort.
Let me know...
