Package command line arguments not working

Reported by: isak Assigned to: curtis

Description

Since the switch to force usage of 'package install foo' instead of directly executing './foo.package' arguments to packages stopped working.

The effect is that you can't extract or debug packages using e.g, -x or -d.

'package' should interpret all arguments beginning with a '-' that it doesn't recognize itself as arguments to the package.

Curtis: I'm assigning this to you for now (since you're the shell script guru), but feel free to reassign if you don't want it.

Ok, after testing this locally, it seems its possible to just do ./myprogram.package -x or ./myprogram.package -d and things will work fine.

I'm no longer sure this bug is valid

Yep, -x and -d work fine.

I think there was a problem with -d at some point (an environment variable wasn't set, so install script within debug environment didn't want to run), but it was fixed sometime ago.

Ok, this seems to not be an issue, closing as invalid.
