Re: [Shunit2-users] debian package

I would think you are right there is not just one "good" location for the file.
 specially if some example ships with it or parallel and can "runs"
without failures  in such a way that they stay that way between
releases of shunit2 on the distro. if this constraint is not too
binding to the development of shunit2. this may look like a very nice
feature to the release process so the maintenance of the user's
scripts be minimal. I didn't see shunit2 in other distro. I noticed in
the source the example's path have to be constant at least in relative
terms to the folder of shunit2. I am unsure if as users we should
assume . that will not change.

I had been using shunit  from tarball hence had the same issue of
being path dependent. which ended up been a real pain and high costs
(dropping the tests......).
i apologize my proposal to help is becoming more an enhancement & more
work on your sides.
 let me just say i really like your stuff and hope to be using it for a while.

Lyase.
