As far as I am concerned, this bug is no longer important. It's very easy to workaround this limitation by having the hook process a JSON file containing all the information needed: the list of files can be put in there.

However, in some cases it might be needed for a click package to install several files in the same directory. For instance, a click package installing a new account plugin which provides different services (for instance, a website could provide an e-mail service, instant messaging, file sharing, etc.) which are represented to libaccounts via XMl files installed to /usr/share/accounts/services (or ~/.local/share/accounts/services). I would suggest providing the hook's "Pattern" field with a variable holding the filename of the source file (just the base name, with the path stripped out), so that it can be used to differentiate the symlinks in the target directory. So one could write a Pattern like this for libaccounts's services: Pattern: ${home}/.local/share/accounts/services/${id}_${basename} Then also the manifest file should allow specifying a list of files: "hooks": { "example-app": { "apparmor": "apparmor/example-app.json", "desktop": "example-app.desktop", "account-service": ["cool-email.service", "cool-chat.service"] } } To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click/+bug/1245826/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
