tar maybe needs --prepend-directory-name

[Dan Jacobson]

tar may need an option --prepend-directory-name:
Instead of
-------------old makefile-------------------------
W=wwwoffle-jidanni
T=/tmp/$W
revise:
        mkdir $T
        cp -p   $W.html ChangeLog wwwoffle-chunks \
                /root/bin/wwwoffle-outgoing-regexp-rm \
                /root/bin/wwwoffle-cache-regexp-rm \
                /root/bin/connect-time-summary.sh \
                $T
        cd /tmp && tar cvvzf $(HOME)/geocities/$W.tgz $W
        rm -r /tmp/$W
--------------------------------------------------
Maybe I could just write
-------------new makefile-------------------------
sources=wwwoffle-outgoing-regexp-rm wwwoffle-cache-regexp-rm wwwoffle-chunks
revise:
        cd /root/bin && tar -cvvz --prepend-directory wwwoffle-jidanni \
 -f $(HOME)/geocities/$W.tgz $(sources)
#and then maybe move to the other directory where $W.html and
#ChangeLog are, use the same --prepend-directory-name and use the tar
append action...
