[Buildroot] [PATCH 06/11] package/pkg-generic.mk: exclude the staging sub-directory

[Yann E. MORIN]

On 2020-04-30 11:52 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:

I think this might be an error, as we would be missing the detection of
files installed in $(DESTDIR)/$(PREFIX) or such...

However, I think we can do a bit better, see below...

Without the 'cd', and only ever ignoring staging:

    find $(1) -not -path '$(1)/$(STAGING_SUBDIR)/*' \( -type f -o -type l \) -printf '%T@:%i:%#m:%y:%s,%P\n' \

Notice the %P format specifier (upper-case 'P') instead of the previous
one (lower-case 'p').

Of course, totally untested (but would have the nice side-effect of
getting rid of the leadin ./ on all file names...
