[Rosegarden-devel] packaging rosegarden: some doubts

[Andy <and...@li...>]

Hi, I'm in the process of packaging rosegarden 11.11.42 for Redhat EL6 and
clones (Centos 6, Scientific Linux 6) but whilst doing so I have been looking
at how other distros did it and found a major discrepancy among them.

Basically some distros have only included the files generated by 'make
install' in the package, which is the main binary, the desktop file, the
desktop icons, the mime file and the fonts while other distros in addition
also include most of the subdirectories (and their content) that are located
under /data in the source tree.

So my questions is, should I include all those sub-dirs under /data and
install them in /usr/share/rosegarden (as in: /usr/share/rosegarden/autoload,
/usr/share/rosegarden/chords, /usr/share/rosegarden/examples, and so on)?

I found that OpenSuse, Mandriva, Mageia include those sub-dirs, while Debian,
Ubuntu and Fedora don't include them.
