Multiarch: builtin files-list

October 10, 2012 — BarryK
Reiterating the history, Puppy contains lists of builtin files in /root/.packages/builtin_files, as explained here:

We ran into a problem with Ubuntu/Debian multiarch. Puppy introduced symlinks to force files back into "normal" locations:

However, those symlinks broke the code that composes the builtin files-lists, as reported by mavrothal:

...as the above thread explained, I applied a fix, but it was not 100% successful. So, I have now applied a fix for the fix. The appropriate script is '3builddistro' and is in this Woof commit:
