Peter,
I don't know if I would say the scons scripts are broken. The
relax package is designed (by default) to be untarred in some
directory (say /usr/local/relax-1.3.0) and then 'scons' called
to compile the c code for relax followed by 'scons install'
to install relax in /usr/local/relax, create a symlink in
/usr/local/bin and compile the python scripts in relax. All I did
was adjust the scons scripts not automatically compile the python
scripts and to install in the fink installation directory
rather than in the %p. The postinstall script for relax then just
reverts the changes to the scons scripts so that %p rather than %i
used. My goal in the packaging was to keep the patch changes
as limited as possible so that future relax releases would be
unlikely to break the patch. I think you guys are making this
way more complex than it needs to be. Have you actually looked
at relax-py.patch and relax-py.info in unstable?
