Hello all,

I just wanted to share some information that I found out yesterday.

Short summary: If you change $FFP_PATH, use a path with "ffp" as the last component. Don't change the name of that last component.

You may stop reading now if you are not interested in the details.

Explanation:

On my NAS the ffp is installed on a USB device. I chose to use an installation directory that includes the ffp version, so I set FFP_PATH=/mnt/usb_1/ffp-0.5.

This worked fine until I started to install additional 'funpkg's. After installing a funpkg, the content of the tarball was NOT placed in the /ffp structure. Instead, a directory "ffp" had been created next to "ffp-0.5".

The reason is in /ffp/sbin/funpkg which expects the last component of the "/ffp" symlink target to have the same name as the symlink. This is caused by using $sysroot$prefix at various places in the script.
