Installed location of a package

/opt/Test/Test.txt

Hmm, this seems broken.
And the -v doesn't have /abc/Test anywhere?

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

It has

The "location" attribute of "swlist -v" shows /abc/Test.

Shouldn't "swlist -l file Test" also show files are under /abc?

I can only assume that by changing only location, all of the IPD entries can be left alone.

Sounds weird.
There are gurus of packaging here. Anybody having more ideas.

I tried a small example and it is as you said.

If you want the installed location you are going to have to glue lines:
$ swlist -l file -a location SwPackager_dummy
# SwPackager_dummy /var/tmp/FIREFOX_stuff/YUK
# SwPackager_dummy.SPB-HELP_dummy /var/tmp/FIREFOX_stuff/YUK
/var/tmp/stuff/sin.c

Where sin.c is in:
/var/tmp/FIREFOX_stuff/YUK/var/tmp/stuff/sin.c

You meant to say it's happening the way this whole post is about?

I couldn't get your example.

>it's happening the way this whole post is about?

Yes and it looks like it's by design.

>I couldn't get your example.

The PSF had: /var/tmp/stuff/sin.c

swinstall ... SwPackager_dummy,l=/var/tmp/FIREFOX_stuff/YUK

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

Probably a bad design.

Thanks for all your efforts.
