Hey all,
I have a problem on kirkstone where using the "externalsrc" class wipes
out the directory mentioned in EXTERNALSRC, in other words my personal
development repository.
I have traced it down to the "do_unpack[cleandirs]" variable flag. This
flag is supposed to be removed here [1] when using "externalsrc", and
indeed I have verified that this is the case. But when the function is
about to be executed, the "cleandirs" variable flag has somehow been
restored [2]. This causes the directory to be removed after all, despite
the attempt at avoiding it.
At this point I'm a bit lost, I don't really know what happens between
those two steps. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? It
sounds like a pretty serious bug to me, wiping out things in the home
directory of the user.
