[poky] Source package with wrong directory in it

[Keskinarkaus, Teemu]

Hi,

This might be another user issue and not poky issue itself, but hopefully someone could help me here.

Usually when I download source package and unpack it will unpack itself to in directory name-version (eg. program-1.2.3) and yocto also assumes so. Well, I have managed to find one program that doesn't have the version part of the directory name and haven't been able to redirect the yocto/poky to use that program-directory without version to build the program.

Is there a way to do that within the recipe and not needing to touch the class-files? And this is program that's not originally in yocto so it's .bb and not .bbappend - file.

And I don't want to start repacking the software or trying to convince the author to rename the package since there might be other similar sources as well.
