Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.49
Severity: normal
Using -d / --data-dir should either
a) accept relative paths or
b) mention in the manual page / help message that it accepts only
absolute paths
Not working example with relative path (or just directory name):
$ chdist -d test create jaunty
Now edit test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list
Then run chdist apt-get jaunty update
And enjoy.
$ cat test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list
cat: test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
Working example with absolute path:
$ chdist -d $PWD/test create jaunty
Now edit /home/tester/project/test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list
Then run chdist apt-get jaunty update
And enjoy.
$ cat /home/tester/project/test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list
