Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Directory3pm

Plugin to extract a downloaded directory to a build directory

Usage

 use alienfile;
 plugin 'Extract::Directory';

Version

version 2.88

Overview

Some Download or Fetch plugins may produce a directory instead of an archive file. This plugin is used to mirror the directory from the Download step into a fresh directory in the Extract step. An example of when you might use this plugin is if you were using the "git" command in the Download step, which results in a directory hierarchy.

Properties

Should always set to "d" (for directories).
