Hi all, As we are preparing EasyH10 1.0 RC, it's a good occasion to discuss the packaging ambiguity. Do you think we should include an HTML manual into the binary distribution or not? The HTML manual will be the copy of the web pages. I don't think we need it because: we already have manpage; HTML pages in /usr/share are seldom referred; the manual (with PNG images) will be larger than the binary; and most computers running on Linux have the Internet connection. Another question. Where is the most suitable location to put README, COPYING, AUTHORS, INSTALL, etc? a) /usr/share/easyh10/doc b) /usr/share/doc c) Nowhere (do not install these files) I saw a Gentoo Linux user who is going to install these files into b). http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=29501 EasyH10 is now becomming a bit famous among linux distributions. I know it's up to the maintainers and distributions, but IMHO the project should avoid the chaotic situation beforehand by showing the standard in Makefile.am. Best regards, Nyaochi |
