Hi Walter,

I'm forwarding these two messages on to the folks who do the development 
of LinuxCOE.

Thanks for the feedback!

hi chris,
i was just trying your latest version, here my first impressions:

1. It was unclear what to download
  systemdesigner-4 ? systemdesigner-opensuse-4 ? both ?

sugestion:
	call it systemdesigner-4 and  addon-4-opensuse

btw for you own good call the snapshot systemdesigner-2007-06-22, something like that.
It is nice to know to what version the bug reports relates  :) 
Do not forget to write: "get systemdesigner and at least 1 addon"

2. Intalldir

in systemdesigner/Makefile
	prefix = /usr/local/systemdesigner/4

in systemdesigner-opensuse-4
	prefix = /opt/systemdesigner-opensuse/4

Is it intentional to have someparts in /opt some in /usr/local ? i personaly prefer the same dir
is the /4 intentional ? i had the impression that it is short for "for" ?

3. post-actions
The post-actions script stalled because i broke some variables (accidently), it can be improved
by [ -f $CONFIG_SITE ] && . $CONFIG_SITE making sure that variables are realy set.
(it would be nice to have a full path in CONFIG_SITE)


4. config.site

here is my config.site it should basicly work with all newer suse releases.

##
# Site Customization file config.site
#	these variables can be set via the command line as
#		./configure httpdcfgdir=/SomeValue ...
#	or all at once by editing this configuration file and then
#		export CONFIG_SITE=./config.site && ./configure
##

# APACHE Web Services
  # From httpd.conf (or equiv)
  # replace value of httpdcfgdir to match web server location
  # for directory of included module-specific configuration files
  if test "x${httpdcfgdir}" = x; then
    httpdcfgdir=/etc/apache2/sysconfig.d
  fi

  # From httpd.conf (or equiv)
  # replace value of docrootdir to match web server location
  # eg. DocumentRoot /var/www -> docrootdir=/var/www
  # so, the directory seen when you point a web browser at
  # http://YourSite/ and will be populated to become http://YourSite/@PACKAGE_NAME@
  if test "x${docrootdir}" = x; then
    docrootdir=/srv/www
  fi

  # For your particular web service
  # replace value of httpd_user with the UID or user name running the process
  if test "x${httpd_user}" = x; then
    httpd_user=wwwrun
  fi

  # For your particular web service
  # replace value of httpd_group with the GID or group name running the process
  if test "x${httpd_group}" = x; then
    httpd_group=www
  fi

# SUDO Services
  # For your particular sudo implementationftp service
  # replace value of sudo config file sudoers_cfg with your reference location
  # so the httpd_user can perform mount/manipulate/umount operations on
  # the generated boot images
  if test "x${sudoers_cfg}" = x; then
    sudoers_cfg=/etc/sudoers
  fi
