Directory of main packs

Packs are always created in the directory HOMEPACK. However, as suggested by the existence of two environment variables ROOTPACK and HOMEPACK, reference packs (including main packs) and working packs can be stored in different directories.

Since GmkPack creates packs only inside HOMEPACK, to be able to make packs inside the directory ROOTPACK (if directories are different) the environmernt variables HOMEPACK and HOMEBIN should be temporarily overwritten by ROOTPACK and ROOTBIN.

To work in the ROOTPACK framework and to come back to the HOMEPACK framework, run the commands berootpack and behomepack preceeded with a ''dot'' :

% . berootpack
GMKROOT  = /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack
ROOTPACK = /home/khatib/rootpack
HOMEPACK = /home/khatib/rootpack
HOMEBIN  = /home/khatib/rootpack
GMKTMP   = /home/khatib/tmp
gmkpack is /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack/util/gmkpack
registered as : /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack.6.3/util/gmkpack
### Your are packs administrator ###
% . behomepack
GMKROOT  = /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack
ROOTPACK = /home/khatib/rootpack
HOMEPACK = /home/khatib/pack
HOMEBIN  = /home/khatib/pack
GMKTMP   = /home/khatib/tmp
gmkpack is /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack/util/gmkpack
registered as : /home/khatib/bin/gmkpack.6.3/util/gmkpack
