On my list to bring up sometime, and now's as good as any: let's simultaneously accept that it's not 1990, and we're not twm anymore, and relocate our install files.
Our current install looks like this: /usr/local/bin/ctwm /usr/local/lib/X11/twm/images/[... whole bunches of .xpm ...] /usr/local/lib/X11/twm/system.ctwmrc /usr/local/man/man1/ctwm.1.gz (sub /usr/local with /usr or whatever your $PREFIX might be) The binary and manpage are fine, they're where they should be. The fallback config, I'm not sure serves much purpose as a running file; it's the fallback that's compiled into ctwm, so it's of more use as an example than as a running config. And aside from looking under twm for ctwm, it's a weird place nowadays for config files. So I suggest we shuffle things around so that we still have $PREFIX/bin/ctwm $PREFIX/man/man1/ctwm.1.gz # or share/man if that exists but otherwise create something more like $PREFIX/share/ctwm/images/[... whole bunches of .xpm ...] $PREFIX/share/ctwm/samples/system.ctwmrc for the install files, and change the search to look for a $PREFIX/etc/system.ctwmrc for the next-to-last-ditch config location (which will be empty from the ctwm install, only something put there if the admin decides to, which probably is a pretty meaningless case nowadays). Also, it might be handy to go ahead and install the HTML version of the manual, and possibly the CHANGES as well. Having our own share/ctwm/ gives us good homes for those. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
