Build of Clr+Libs+Installer for Alpine with --pack doesn't work

[janvorli]

Running ROOTFS_DIR=/home/janvorli/rootfs/arm64.musl/ ./build.sh Clr+Libs+Installer --arch arm64 -c Release -rc Release -lc Release --cross --pack fails during the packing phase, because for some reason, the installer files are stored in artifacts/bin/linux-musl-arm64.Release instead of artifacts/bin/linux-arm64 and the packaging cannot find them. The libraries and coreclr files are in the correct folder.

The same happens for cross build of arm32 and I assume it would also happen for build on Alpine for x64.

The musl from the RID should not be projected to the target folder path.

Seems like the area path should be area-infrastructure-installer?

@janvorli is this a developer scenario? Does it also repro in official builds? Is it needed for 5.0?

[janvorli]

It is a local developer scenario when someone wants to get a local build of all the packages locally. One such case is Alpine ARM32 which is not officially supported / built yet (we produce only Alpine arm64 packages) and people were asking for it. There is nothing preventing it from working except for the inability to generate the packages. Official builds (of Alpine arm64 / x64) don't have this problem, I assume they use a slightly different way to produce the packages.
It seems that the importance of the fix would go down significantly if we just started to produce arm32 Alpine (MUSL) packages in our official builds. In fact, I've hit this issue when I wanted to try to enable official build of those and I wanted to generate / test the packages locally to test them before that.

@janvorli do you know if this is still needed since we produce Alpine arm32 packages? Please close if it's not needed.
