Actually, they don't *have* to be in the path to be executed from within a package directory. And DESTDIR is a method one can use for package management. Installing the scripts into {,/usr}/bin and then executing them doesn't really allow for a packaged installation. I was actually thinking that it would be really easy to create an autotooled package that would never need to be updated by us as the only change ever made is downloading the certs from Mozilla. No big deal as I've fixed it to work with a DESTDIR installation. The only thing we cannot do is the c_rehash command that creates the symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs) but that can almost be considered configuration which is always done after a package is installed. It was just a thought. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 17:17:00 up 5 days, 3:16, 1 user, load average: 1.01, 0.33, 0.12 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
