[Simple-cdd-devel] Bug#882595: Support relative paths for all_extras option

[Jack Henschel]

Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.6.5
Tags: patch

Hi,

after spending an entire afternoon figuring out why simple-cdd wasn't including my extra files, I stepped through the code and noticed that simple-cdd assumes paths in PROFILE.extras to be absolute (and also fails silently, if the files aren't there...)

Because all other file references (e.g. "local_packages") are relative, this is extremely unintuitive. The fact that this behavior is undocumented doesn't help, either.

Therefore, I propose files beginning with a '/' to be treated as absolute, otherwise prepend the working directory of simple-cdd.

Patch attached.

Greetings
Jack
