Hi,

Got my Debian packages almost fully working now, everything
installs/uninstalls without error.
However, when I try to run the newly installed program it wont work
properly as it lacks permission to save to file.

My program loads a list of hyperlinks from a text file (links.txt),
this text file is currently in usr/share/<packagename> (I've also
tried to install it directly to home/<user>/Documents but that didn't
work either)

I want my makefile to install links.txt in a manner that will allow my
end user to write to the file without permission violation.

Cheers.

Here's the makefile so far:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# This file is public domain software, originally written by Joey Hess.
#
# This version is for packages that are architecture independent.

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1

icon = $(CURDIR)/link-lizard-icon.png
script = $(CURDIR)/gtk-link-lizard.py
launcher = $(CURDIR)/gtk-link-lizard.desktop
links = $(CURDIR)/links.txt

DEST1 = $(CURDIR)/debian/gtk-link-lizard/usr/share/gtk-link-lizard-1.4
DEST2 = $(CURDIR)/debian/gtk-link-lizard/usr/share/applications
