how to copy from repository-dir to cache-dir

[Matthias Bretz]

Hi, I'm trying to write a recipe to patch a LibreOffice with the corresponding language-pack. I have all parts together but I need to copy a custom AppleScript from the repository-directory to the cache-directory.

As there is %RECIPE_CACHE_DIR% I was wondering if there is some thing like this to reference. I tried %RECIPE_REPO_DIR% but it doesn't work.

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

You should be able to use %RECIPE_DIR%. See this recipe for an example: https://github.com/autopkg/gregneagle-recipes/blob/master/Mozilla/FirefoxAutoconfig.pkg.recipe

There are recipes out there that already do this kind of thing. The most common one was the FirefoxAutoconfig.pkg recipe from the core recipes repo, but that recipe is gone due to obsolescence. You can see another recipe based on it by Neil Martin that should give you the guidance you need:

In short, %RECIPE_DIR% is the substitution you are looking for.

I wonder if this recipe does the work you are trying to do? It's what I use to add the German language pack to LibreOffice:

You made my day and saved my work-week by this. Was searching for this for three days now. Works like charm.

Thanks, kind regards, Matthias

Hi Graham, yes it does. I'm new to autopkg and as part of learning I try to create as much as possible on my own before copying existing recipes.

My approach was to use a modified version of the apples script which is included in the langpack-installer. But your solution (using the unarchiver-processor to directly unpack the tarball in the destination-app is far more elegant.

Thanks for pointing me to your solution.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Matthias
