Clarify output path logic for unpack in vignettes

Open nanxstats opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

pkglite follows a simple rule when unpacking packages:

It will create directory(s) under the output directory named after the parsed package name(s) from each DESCRIPTION file of the package(s), and put the content of each package under them.
This design implies that the simplest way to avoid unnecessary confusions is to keep package names and folder names an identical mapping.
Users can adjust the directory names and hierarchy in userland easily, but that would belong to individual business logic.
