- the `install_mode` kwarg ignored integer values between 0.59.0 -- 1.1.0.
- an omitted `install_dir` kwarg did not work correctly inside of a subproject until 1.3.0.
- an omitted `install_dir` kwarg did not work correctly when combined with the `preserve_path` kwarg untill 1.3.0.
kwargs:
install_dir:
type: str
description: |
The absolute or relative path to the installation directory.

install_mode:
type: list[str | int]
since: 0.38.0

specify the file mode in symbolic format and
optionally the owner/uid and group/gid for the installed files. For
example:
`install_mode: 'rw-r--r--'` for just the file mode
`install_mode: ['rw-r--r--', 'nobody', 'nogroup']` for the file mode and the user/group
`install_mode: ['rw-r-----', 0, 0]` for the file mode and uid/gid
To leave any of these three as the default, specify `false`.
install_tag:
type: str
since: 0.60.0

description: Additional files to install.
follow_symlinks:
type: bool
since: 1.3.0
