Cannot 'build --publish' without including the productnumber
Last modified: 2016-08-15 21:27:08 EDT
Description of problem: It would be nice if the '--publish' option to build did not have to result in an output path that contained the productnumber. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.publican build --publish --langs en-US --formats html 2. 3. Actual results: /home/user/dev/blah/pub_doc/The_Guide/publish/en-US/MyProduct/2/html/MyTitle Expected results: To have an option where <productnumber> is not necessarily included. Additional info: It seems that somewhere along the line someone decided it would be useful to be able to build the SRPM without the version number (although perhaps they didn't think it was a good idea as they called it --short_sighted). Something similar in this situation would be nice. Perhaps --needs_glasses ?
Moving upstream
--publish is specifically for creating the layout used on the publican WebSites, is there any reason you can't just use tmp_dir to change where it builds and then grab the content from $tmp_dir/$lang/$format?
