Match vdpm's pacman moving to libexec/vdpm - #151
Merged
Conversation
vdpm no longer installs pacman/pacman-conf under bin/, to stop them shadowing a Linux distribution's own pacman on PATH. Depends on VDPM_TAG pointing at a vdpm release that carries that change -- until then this SDK will fail packaging with a missing-file error.

The release carrying pacman under libexec/vdpm, which the packaging scripts already expect since #151. Built from source here, so only the git tag is needed.

buildscripts — Match vdpm's pacman moving to libexec/vdpm
What does this change?
Updates
scripts/create-core-package.sh,scripts/create-bootstrap-archive.sh,scripts/install-vdpm-bundle.sh,scripts/validate-core-package.sh, and their tests to expectpacman/pacman-confatlibexec/vdpm/instead ofbin/.Why is this change needed?
Companion to
vitasdk/vdpm's fix for vdpm#119, which movespacmanoffbin/so it stops shadowing a Linux distribution's own pacman onPATH. This repo's packaging pipeline hardcoded the old path in five places to split the SDK stage directory into thevitasdk-coreandvdpmpackages, and to validate both.Testing
Ran
tests/package/test-core-package.shlocally — full run, including installing both built packages into a real Arch Linux container and checking the dependency and file split — andtests/package/test-bootstrap-archive.sh. Both pass. Did not runtests/package/test-vdpm-bundle.sh's Windows leg (needs a real stage-1 SDK this environment doesn't have); its Unix leg, which this change touches, ran and passed as part of that same script before the unrelated Windows step was reached.Compatibility
Depends on
VDPM_TAGpointing at a vdpm release that carries the libexec move — it currently doesn't (pinned to v0.1.1, cut before that fix existed). Merging this before that release exists and the pin is bumped will break packaging with a missing-file error.Third-party material
None.
