Dear Alexey,
thanks a lot for your reply, now I get it.
The path in 1st argument is relative to 2nd argument, and what I thought
before was that it's relative to S="${workdir}".
Best wishes

`dosym target link_name` creates a symlink. Under the hood it calls `ln`. First argument may be either absolute path or relative to link_name. Conventionally relative targets are used.

Good evening, dear list
Most binary package ebuilds have such a *dosym* statement in
src_install(), take net-im/signal-desktop-bin as an example:
dosym ../../opt/Signal/${MY_PN} /usr/bin/${MY_PN} (where the variable
is signal-desktop)
*dosym* creates a symlink of the binary under opt at /usr/bin/ according
to devmanaul.
I'm confused about the "../../", since S="${workdir}", the correct way
seems to be "dosym ./opt/Signal/xxx /usr/bin/xxx"
It's much appreciated if anyone could help ; )
