Eric, All,

On 2014-02-13 17:26 -0700, Eric Nelson spake thusly:
> The Freescale packages imx-lib, libfslcodec, libfslparser, and libfslvpuwrap
> are each bundled as self-extracting tar-balls that contain a shell script
> and a EULA in their package headers.
> 
> These self-extractors also contain a command to create the destination
> directory using "mkdir" (no -p) prior to extraction.
> 
> Since we want to place the output into the build directory, which has already
> been created at the time of extraction, this causes a warning message
> from "mkdir".
> 
> This patch changes things so that each package is extracted first into a
> sub-directory, and the content is moved into the eventual build directory.

In fact, I was not clear in my previous reply: as your testing shows,
and as Arnout suggested, we can well leave with this warning.

So, to make it clear this time: I don;t think we should try to play it
smart with this whole directory mess: the archives do extract in a
properly-named directory, so lets just accept the little warning.

The changes introduced by this patch, although not too complex, are not
trivial either.

I suggest we just drop this patch, unless Peter really wants it.

Sorry I was not explicit enough in my previous mail. Thank you for
staying with us all along the journey! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
