Re: Creating a package using two sources/origins

Hi (, thanks a lot.

Nope, that's not quite correct. Your ARGUMENTS should look like this:

With this modification it almost works ;-)
The tar.bz2 file is downloaded in the store as file, and then copied in the
build directory with the name  "extra-source-directory" (but it is not a
directory)

You've seen a ``.drv'' path being printed out by the CLI, right?  They

Now it's a little bit more clear, but for sure I have to practice more
before fully understand the type of "things" I'm using in the code.
