Hey There,
I want to package django-grappelli (version: 2.3.5) from github. I know that usually we clone the repository and therefore have the latest commit of the project for VCS PKGBUILD's. However in this case, I want to package the latest stable version. So I wrote;
$ ll src/ toplam 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tunix users 52 Oca 20 10:59 2.3.5 -> /home/tunix/packages/alps/django-grappelli-git/2.3.5 drwxr-xr-x 4 tunix users 4096 Eki 11 11:07 sehmaschine-django-grappelli-ea9441b
So unless I do some bash magic like cd $srcdir/sehmaschine-django-grappelli-*, I won't be able to continue to build this package. What I wonder is if there are convenient ways to:
- Download a tarball with a predefined name (in short: rename the output tarball) - Extract to predefined folder
that we can specify in PKGBUILD? I read the man pages of PKGBUILD and makepkg and couldn't find such an information.
you can always try to manually extract the file, combined with a proper -C and --xform parameter of tar. best regards,
