[Bug 727011] Re: apt-mirror ignores base-path setting in config file

[Micah Gersten]

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu.  I just tried this package
yesterday and had this issue that it wouldn't create the directories for
me.  I'm taking a look at your patch now.

Title:
  apt-mirror ignores base-path setting in config file

Status in “apt-mirror” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-mirror

  Hello,

  I've been trying to get apt-mirror to use a different directory than the default one.
  I noticed that the base-path setting in the apt-mirror config file is ignored.

  After looking at the perl script I saw that the check for the three working directories is done before the processing of the config file.
  Thus the alternative path setting would not be applied until after the setting of the work directories.
  After putting that piece of code behind the processing of the config file code the alternative path worked.

  I've attached a patch file that fixes the problem.
