Hi tybalt89, thanks for the comment. Do you talk about tarball (tar)? Then no. I'm trying to create a Singularity recipes builder. So I want to have the same "environment" (files/dir/links) as outside. In other words, the script should create a def file that creates directories, copies the files and creates the link - only of the paths I gave him. If you are not familiar with Singularity, it's similar to Docker containers but you can copy stuff from your work area.
