Subject: bug#55270: unpack phase randomly changes the cwd
Date: Thu, 05 May 2022 11:16:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <IN6Ty5_9Tk68JceEubR3zTKjm8XTJOPv4-llOHUM18euCVLhGnRAeB_ncVn3AC2PbfDu_63Zq0YXlxXYHX8186pUHrciuQdCJCfH8TS69k4=@lendvai.name> (raw)

at the end of the unpack phase, the working directory is changed to a random directory.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm#n178

this is fine *when* the archive contains a single dir... but this DWIM'ness has just burned 15 mintues of my life, and i recommend removing it.

if it is to stay, then at least it should be patched that it only happens when the dir after extraction only contains a single subdir, and no files otherwise.
