104fx_copy can get confusing

[NapalmSauce]

When I use the script more than once and point at the same location everytime, e.g /users/myname/TenFourFox.app the first application bundle will be stuffed with the second one at /users/myname/TenFourFox.app/TenFourFox.app, since this is the normal behaviour of unix directories.

Can something like temporarily staging a copy of the .app on top of the tree to relink libraries then create an archive with tar -cf instead to get an overwrite behaviour be acceptable? I think it would avoid somewhat misleading cases that involve the above.

So are you saying you want it to overwrite any existing browser at that path? I could just throw in an rm -rf $where or something.

Seriously. How can I miss this. Yeah, exactly what I mean. Thanks for the tip.

Can you enclose rm -rf like this?

if (-e ${ppath}/contents/macos/firefox) then
rm -rf ${ppath} 
endif

So it absolutely avoids overwriting an unrelated directory, expecting it would produce ${ppath}/TenFourFox.app

[classilla]

OK.
