Hello Everyone,
Today, while trying to use "tla build-config" I tried to used the
following configuration file:
./patches address@hidden/lfs--patches--4.0
./packages address@hidden/lfs--packages--4.0
../static address@hidden/images--static--4.0
and got an error. Here is the error message:
"arch_read_config: illegal config file (lfs--scripts.conf)"
Apparently the extra dot in front of ./static is not an acceptable
character/path for tla.
Later today, I tried the following configuration file:
./lfs/. address@hidden/lfs--scripts--0.1
./lfs/patches address@hidden/lfs--patches--4.0
./lfs/packages address@hidden/lfs--packages--4.0
./static address@hidden/images--static--4.0
and got an error. Here is the error message:
get: output directory already exists
(/home/pperez/tla-archives/configs/lfs/.)
After further further review (by looking carefully at the configuration
file documented in the tutorial) I realized that I should not append a
"/." to the end of "./lfs".
So question one is, is a double dot (parent directory) an illegal path
for "tla build-config" ?
Question two is, why ./lfs/. does not work but ./lfs does work?
The only explanation in the tutorial about the syntactics of a
configuration file read like this:
"The |CONTENTS| field can be a branch (meaning, get the latest revision
of the latest version on that branch), a version (meaning get the latest
revision in that version), or a revision name (meaning get that
revision, exactly)."
There is no definition for LOCATION.
Here is a question/suggestion, should tla have a check-config command
that parses a config file and informs the user of any errors?
