SubjectRe: [PATCH] kbuild: package: use --transform option to prefix paths in tar
2017-11-15 18:17 GMT+09:00 Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>:
> For rpm-pkg and deb-pkg, a source tar file is created. All paths in
> the archive must be prefixed with the base name of the tar. That
> means, everything is contained in the directory when you extract it.
>
> Currently, scripts/package/Makefile uses a symlink for that, and

> If you terminate the build during the tar creation, the symlink is
