file-resource custom path does't seem to work about fwup HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm surprised that doesn't work as well. See test 2:

https://github.com/fhunleth/fwup/blob/master/tests/002_resource_subdir.test

My guess is that you're not using the latest version of fwup. I've been slow to update nerves with the latest, since I haven't used it as much, but I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work. Sorry - really busy with non-Nerves work. :(

nerves compiled fwup reports version 0.2.0, trying version 0.3.0 now

from fwup.

Yep. That feature is in 0.3.0. I added that along with several other things - most notably firmware signatures. If I weren't so busy with work, I'd update nerves, but I'm just swamped at the moment. The new fwup requires libsodium for the signatures. For whatever reason, my libsodium patch is taking the slow road to be included in buildroot. Here's the patch so that you can manually add it, though: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/473879/.

Alternately, if you can handle not putting files in the root directory of the archive for a while, that might be the easiest route.

Ok well I really just need the portion of fwup that rewrites the master boot record. So maybe I will look at how to just use that portion....

Closing this issue since support for resources outside of the /data directory was added in 0.3.0.
