While I’m at it, here are some packaging related suggestions: * Check for the existence of your dependencies in configure. E.g. I could run configure without having libbluetooth2-dev installed, only to have “make” fail. * Please install everything using automake, including configuration etc. This avoids duplication and diversion between accelges_svn.bb, the Debian packaging and other distros. * Do not install files with an ending “.sh” in the path. This is against Debian policy, and ugly as well :-) * Do you really need the various -neo2.sh, -neo3.sh wrappers? Why not have one wrapper that reads cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Hardware? * You install the acceleration data into /etc in your bb recipe. This is uncommon for binary data. If it’s data that is going to be modified by programs while running, it should go to /var/lib. Or better, put distributed files in /usr/share and create additional data in /var/lib. I guess that’s quite a large list. But I think it’s what turn a private project into a proper program. BTW, what are you plans now that GSOC is over? Are you continuing the development of accelges?
