Is there a way to use “install” for installing multiple files at once using a “wildcard” pattern (and still have “install” create the leading directory hierarchy)?
I’ve tried several different ways:
install -D -t /dest/path /source/path/*.pyinstall -D -t /dest/path/ /source/path/*.pyinstall -D /source/path/*.py /dest/pathinstall -D /source/path/*.py /dest/path/
Please help… for each trial it takes a lot of time (I am using pbuilder to test my package each time).

Answer
Maybe use a simple outer for loop around the install call? So how about
for f in /source/path/*.py; do
install -D -t /dest/path $$f;
done
That said, you can always take the logic out of your Makefile, debian/rules file, … and test it standalone without having to run pbuilder.
Otherwise of course props for using pbuilder for internal projects!
