Ok, so, I'm obviously full of crap. (This should not be news to anyone who reads the list)

A lot of people install their applications.

A lot of people find the fact that their config gets installed into MyApp/myapp.yml, and your templates go into MyApp/root odious and offensive.

You're preaching to the converted, I say we move them into a sharedir, which is at least somewhat more sane, or we could even adopt the crazy schemes proposed by john (http:// jjnapiorkowski.vox.com/library/post/rfc-non-code-data-directories-and- standards-for-catalyst.html).

We're going to merge the first stage of the -Devel stuff shortly, at which point branches to change the application structure (s/root/ share/) etc, welcome.

Please to be commenting on John's blog and branching Runtime 5.80 in the mean time + stealing the sharedir handling out of Reaction, and getting Alias to accept patches to do the 'am I in a checked out dist' special move on File::ShareDir?

Well volunteered.

Cheers
