Issue DM-2466: lsstsw ./bin/deploy needs LSSTSW set to install products in the right place
I cloned lsstsw into ~/Desktop/templsstsw and cd'd into it and typed ./bin/deploy and was shocked to find it installed everything into ~/lsstsw, leaving an unsable mess: some files were in templsstsw and some in ~/lsstsw. The short-term workaround is to manually set LSSTSW before running ./bin/deploy, but this should not be necessary; bin/deploy should either set LSSTSW or not rely on it. I don't recall this problem with earlier versions of lsstsw; I think this is a regression. For now I updated the instructions at https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/LDMDG/The+LSST+Software+Build+Tool but I look forward to being able to revert that change.
