Hmm. It's sort of sad when I make the effort to read the entire thread but still miss the point anyway.
Why not just have mknetrel use a "mknetrel" file in the source directory if it finds one? I've been thinking about doing this for a while. Then there is no need to decide on a location for the "extra" files. They'll be bundled with the src, in the same directory. cgf On Tue, Jul 09, 2002 at 07:31:33PM +0200, Jan Nieuwenhuizen wrote: >Charles Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> If we want to add a "method 3" which is: >> >> donwload current mknetrel >> copy the included script 'pkgname' into mknetrel/extra (*) >> run mknetrel -b >> >> (*) where 'pkgname' is the override script. >> >> That would be fine, too, IMO. > >Ah, now that would be smart thing to do, why didn't I think of that? > >What about picking a directory for extra right now, let's say: > > /usr/share/mknetrel/extra > >and have individual packages all unpack their extra script there >(maybe even junk most extra's from mknetrel-cvs itself)? > >Any volunteers for packaging mknetrel?
