Resolved. We will use {var}

And another - add fallback value attributes to the package building rules I'm not sure I know enough yet to pick the right solution. I do know that what I...

Also, we might consider using symbolic names for modes. Instead of the posix octal modes, perhaps go to the chmod model ( ugo+-rwx ). The reason to do that now...

You can build complex structures with pkg_file rules. That gives more capability. This intermediate step does not thill me at all. What is more interesting is if you could specify...

It's a tough call. We use destination internally in most code to mean the file that gets created. The key of the dest_src_map.

Is this done and should be split into distinct issues for improvements? Or do you consider pkg_install not yet ready.

I think the most sustainable method is to make raw tree artifacts (that is, if encountered in build_*.py) - ignore empty directories - give all files a default mode If...
