extract_cmd is not taken into account in exts_list

[hajgato]

Trying to fix issue easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#10629, but it seems that extract_cmd and start_dir is not taken into account. The relevant code from R-4.0.0-foss-2020a.eb:

    ('h2o', '3.30.0.1', {
        'source_urls': ['http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/rel-zahradnik/1'],
        'source_tmpl': SOURCE_ZIP,
        'extract_cmd': 'unzip -qq %s && tar zxf h2o-*/R/h2o*.tar.gz',
        'start_dir': 'h2o',
        'checksums': ['eafa8687894640db3300e48581617538b3f664a11a042661552b3c132d3a4e77'],
    }),

The relevant log:

Tried with 'sources': [SOURCE_ZIP] as well, but I got the same problem.

@hajgato This is not a bug, the extract_cmd has to be in the sources spec, so:

('h2o', '3.30.0.1', {
        'source_urls': ['http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/rel-zahradnik/1'],
        'sources': [{
            'filename': SOURCE_ZIP,
            'extract_cmd': 'unzip -qq %s && tar zxf h2o-*/R/h2o*.tar.gz',
        }],
        'start_dir': 'h2o',
        'checksums': ['eafa8687894640db3300e48581617538b3f664a11a042661552b3c132d3a4e77'],
}),

Just like it has to for the top-level sources, see https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Writing_easyconfig_files.html#alternative-formats-for-sources

@boegel does not help too much:

@hajgato Not even with latest develop (thanks to the fixes in #3487)?

@boegel just pulled this morning the dev channel, and I got exactly the same result than above.
