Allow setting of a working directory for the resulting ROCK in rockcraft.yaml
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request for a working-directory field in rockcraft.yaml to avoid cd wrappers. Core need addressed by service-level working-dir added in PR #305; maintainer triaged in Feb 2026 asking reporter to confirm if service-level is sufficient, no response in ~6 months.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The core use case (avoiding cd wrappers) is resolved by service-level working-dir merged in PR #305 (commit 4594740f). Maintainer gcomneno triaged on 2026-02-26 asking the reporter to confirm whether service-level working-dir suffices or if OCI image-level WorkingDir is specifically needed; no response after ~6 months. The remaining narrower request (OCI WorkingDir) is unconfirmed and the issue is 1419 days old.
