Description Mark Wielaard 2010-01-03 12:51:35 UTC
Description of problem:

Using a publican.cfg file with tmp_dir: set to something different from 'tmp' causes errors/warnings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

publican-1.3-0.fc12.noarch

How reproducible:

Always, when tmp_dir: set in publican.cfg to something different from 'tmp'.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a publican directory
2. Add a publican.cfg file with "tmp_dir: build" in it
3. publican build [...]
  
Actual results:

[...]
	Processing file build/en-US/xml_tmp/Using_SystemTap.xml
Can't stat tmp: No such file or directory
 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Publican/Builder.pm line 414
Beginning work on en-US
[...]

Expected results:

No warnings/errors.

Additional info:

The problem is in the function setup_xml in Builder.pm which calls finddepth with the hardcoded string 'tmp' instead of $self->{publican}->param('tmp_dir') (aka my $tmp_dir).

The following fixes the issue

Comment 1 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-01-18 22:21:45 UTC
