I'd like to see the xpak data being put in it's own file at the |
| 10 |
_beginning_ of the tar file. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
tar -Jcf \ |
| 13 |
${PKGDIR}/${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PF}-${COUNTER}.xpak \ |
| 14 |
tmp/${CATEGORY}:${PN}:${PF}-${COUNTER}.xpak \ |
| 15 |
*all_the_other_stuff* |
| 16 |

| 17 |
this way reading it could be faster on some media and filesystem and it |
| 18 |
would not deviate from the standard tar. |
| 19 |
Being in /tmp/ is only for commodity but the place is debatable. |
| 20 |
Instead the fact it _must_ be the first file it's not, in a sequential |
| 21 |
archive file like tar some things depend on it. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
seem to be the right time to do the change, since tool need to be |
| 24 |
rewritten anyway, but I'll leave to you analyze the fallout of this change. |
