Title: How does the +TARGETS file in a plugin work?
Post by: Patrick M. Hausen on October 17, 2024, 08:20:28 pm

Hi all,

if I want to copy "distro" to "/usr/local/sbin/distro" like so:

Code: [Select]

distro:/usr/local/sbin/distro

is there a way to specify that the file should be installed mode 755?

Thanks!
Patrick

I don't want to answer directly, so let me give you a question:

Do you need to template your binary (script)? If not you can put it in src/sbin/distro and chmod 755 in git which installs it directly into the directory.

If the script is templated try to make a config file to template and move the binary to src/sbin anyway. It's good practice.


Cheers,
Franco

Great! Thanks!
