[wpkg-users] Access base dir in package definition

[Oliver Sauder]

Well I currently do this. But we sometimes also use WPKG repos on
different shares or simply on an external hard
disc either for testing reasons or to get a machine updated much quicker
than over the network etc.

So now I have to define the variable in the configuration with the full
path and always have to change it depending on the location where wpkg
is located.

but wpkg.js should actually know where it is located and I simply want
to replace in your example \\srv1\installs$\wpkg with what directory
wpkg.js is located in.

This way I can copy wpkg repo to whatever location I want and simply
call in on the command line where it is located. No changes needed in
the wpkg repository itself.

Does that make sense?
