Just to follow up.
I had spoken with Jack about this on the phone.
Currently when the distro constructor finishes it removes the contents
of the tmp directory. This is true even it the dc is paused at a
specific checkpoint. When resumed the contents of the temp directory are
removed.
The one line of code which removed the contents of the temp directory is
in the main_func() of distro_consts just before return:
dcu.cleanup_dir(cp.get_build_area_mntpt() + TMP)
return (status)
The proposed changed is to remove the dcu.cleanup_dir call and add a new
finalizer script which can be run as the very last finalizer script
which will clean up the contents of the temp directory.
If anyone has a different suggestion please pass it along.
Thank you!
Joe
