[wpkg-users] Suggestion of new argument: /pkgroot

[Thomas Bøge Nielsen]

Suggestion: Addition of additional command line switch: /pkgroot:<pathtofilename>


In some environments using wpkg package definition syntax is much more flexible than writing long scripts to do what wpkg does so great.
We are using wpkg to install packages one by one directly from a local directory, apart from the central location of wpkg. Therefore, we need to be able to specify a specific pakcage-directory on the commandline. We have developed (what i nice word for a 2-line patch) to the current 1.3.0 release, allowing us to do so.

I kindly ask this patch (or an improved version if anyone find that smarter) to be included in further releases.
