I see it (and have implemented) as this: only last file/dir from whole path should be taken:<div class=""><br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="file:///some/abs/path/to/file" class="">file:///some/abs/path/to/file</a> → ${WORKDIR}/file<br class=""><br class="">Behavior prior to this patch and how it works in current master:<br class=""><br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>file:///some/abs/path/to/file → ${WORKDIR}/some/abs/path/to/file<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">qemu_helper recipe relies as well on last one:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>file://${COREBASE}/scripts/runqemu → ${WORKDIR}/home/user/projects/yocto/scripts/runqemu<br class=""><br class="">But I believe that recipe authors wouldn't have 'home/user/projects/yocto/scripts' dir in ${WORKDIR} as it completely host specific and useless. For such reason I have implemented behavior that copies only last file/dir entity from absolute path to ${WORKDIR} and changed qemu_helper recipe accordingly. New test cases are covering this behavior too.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you agree with such behavior, then you can integrate patch v2 and remove your fix for qemu_helper in master since it conflicts with my changes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">BTW, I want to add one more test case in upcoming patch: absolute paths with wildcards. This should be covered also.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class="">Alexander</div></div></body></html>
