Changing the default installation directory

[tsfto]

Anyone done this successfully before?

In my build.sdb, I've got ("foo" substituted for the real name):

defaultLinuxInstallLocation in Linux := "/foo/"

but while some of the control files have the correct path (with /foo), the contents of data.tar.gz are still ./usr, not ./foo, so my installation fails (our standard is to install into /foo

Any ideas anyone?

I'm using 1.0.0-M5

Are you packaging deb or rpm packages?

You don't need to scope the defaultLinuxInstallLocation.

defaultLinuxInstallLocation := "/foo/"

is enough. See the archetype cheatsheet
