None that I know of. But I have thought about what you said. It'd be nice to have a way to wrap install commands inside another command, as needed by porg. I am thinking of fakeroot for example, which allows to run DESTDIR install as a normal user, but fake the packager to think files are owned by root. I think it would not be difficult to add a custom wrapper, that could contain something like: --- <custom command> sh << WRAP_EOF install commands WRAP_EOF --- where <custom command> could be "porg -lD". This is just a few more lines of xsl. I have already written the wrapper for BLFS jhalfs. We'd have to pass the custom command as a parameter. Of course, we would have four cases, the first two of which are already implemented: no DESTDIR, no wrapper DESTDIR, no wrapper no DESTDIR, wrapper (porg's case) DESTDIR, wrapper (fakeroot's case) Regards Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
