Hi guys, I've played around with maemo-optify yesterday and decided to instead of creating the paths in the package subdir, to create a symlink to /opt and drop everything there before packaging. Wrong move, dpkg-deb doesn't follow symlinks, it packages them :) So, the logical step was to instead of symlink to /opt, to create home/opt in the package subdir and symlink opt/ to it. That worked and I have a package ready that will work in the device, but I'm hesitant to try it in the autobuilder because if the autobuilder is like scratchbox, then the package will be installed to /home/opt but the /opt symlinks will point to somewhere else (/targets/links/opt) and the build will fail anyway.
So my question is - is this the right way to go about this and can I control where the /opt dir is symlinked to in the autobuilder?
