+o The Destination Tree Root text fields which appear in
the "Edit Permissions and Destinations" and "Build
Product" views will be removed for the next release.
The reason is this field does not do what users are
likely to want to use it for.
This field is passed to gendist(1M) via the -rbase
argument:
gendist -rbase rbase
Set the ``root base,'' which is the pathname of the top
of the destination tree. The default rbase is /root,
overridden by the environment variable rbase.
What the casual developer would expect, is that this
identifies the root directory on the target machine.
Users installing your product need to run inst or swmgr
with the '-r' argument to achieve this:
swmgr -r target
Set the effective root directory in which the new
software will be installed. By default, this is /.
This option is used to install software somewhere other
than the default location and to specify the root of a
virtual IRIX tree for diskless prototype trees.
