Re: build/deploy directory names?

Harlan asks:

> What controls the directory name where software is built?

It's a package thing, specifically the <hosts-supported>
field (minus <hosts-not-supported>). `glasli1's
package/ALL.xml says, for example:

<hosts-supported><list>
  <item>sparc-solaris2.6</item>
  <item>ia32-rhlinux6.1</item>
</list></hosts-supported>

As ever, those names have no special significance (those are
glasli1 proto-hosts).  It could just as easily be

<hosts-supported><list>
  <item>those-funny-green-machines</item>
  <item>the-brown-ones</item>
</list></hosts-supported>

(Then, for each proto-host in <hosts-supported>, you need a
proxy host [a real host that can do the business]; and (for
my money) an entry in <packages-install-dir>.  As in
glasli1's package/ALL.xml.)

Another way is to override the sidai methods that do things
in directories you don't like.  They all have a
PKG_PROTO_HOST <param> that you can set to anything you
like.  (Not recommended, but possible...)

Hope this helps,
