Bug 24637 – unpack in local dirs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description SpanKY 2003-07-16 22:09:57 UTC]

attached you will find a patch for unpack() that'll allow you to work off of 
${DESTDIR}, ${PWD}, and fullpaths for sources

This would likely introduce hard-to-find problems, especially as it doesn't say which file it will finally use. Also skips md5 checks and has probably other issue I don't see atm.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2004-06-09 20:06:14 UTC]

what if you allow for 'unpack ./file' syntax ?

that'll address the 'hard-to-find' problem

as for md5sums, often times i use this when tarballs contain tarballs and such :P

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed. 
 
If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that 
it be reopened.
