I am attempting to switch a number of the absolute paths which are present in
my spec files and in my catalyst configuration file into relative paths.
For example, I would like to replace an absolute path like this:
envscript="/home/tkosan/checkouts/jdos/jdos/catalyst_config_files/catalyst-env.sh"
with a relative path like this:
envscript="../catalyst_config_files/catalyst-env.sh"
I have been studying the python code for catalyst_v2.0_rc50. The file_locate
function near line 506 in catalyst_support.py appears to support relative
paths, but the following code that calls this function near line 157 in
generic_stage_target.py seems to be disabling path expansion by setting
"expand" to 0:
<code_snip>
# this next line checks to make sure that the specified variables exist on
disk.
#pdb.set_trace()
file_locate(self.settings,["source_path","snapshot_path","distdir"],expand=0)
# if we are using portage_confdir, check that as well
if self.settings.has_key("portage_confdir"):
file_locate(self.settings,["portage_confdir"],expand=0)
</code_snip>
Is there a way to enable the use of relative paths in the spec files and in the
catalyst configuration file that perhaps I am not aware of?
Thanks in advance :-)
