Re: Bug#142705: pgi default configuration WIPES OUT whole filesystems without asking!!!
hi
first and foremost:
you should upload immediatly a new version which comments out the
rm -rf
command: it is waaaay too dangerous to leave that out in the wild
then, here is some discussion
I think that CLEAN=1 should mean
'clean anything that pgi-build has created in the temporary directory'
and not 'rm -rf the whole of it (including the dir itself)'
I see you have a BASETMPDIR=TMPDIR/pgi-$$ (or similar)
that is a good idea: create any data in that, and , at the end,
if CLEAN=1, delete BASETMPDIR ; and, do not touch the OUT dir
a.
