Hopefully that'll be so :-)

I probably won't even try to make them compliant for quite some time :-)

For example, I'm currently installing stuff into /GNUstep and I'm happy
with that. If we reach the stage where someone sits down and works on a
Debian/Ubuntu remaster which we can give to people as an example GNUstep
system (maybe even a live CD!), I'd even go for moving to an OS X-like
directory structure (/System/Library, /Library, ~/Library and
~/Library/Preferences).

Anyway, the .deb packages produced now seems to work and I'm uploading the
test versions. Allnighters rock.

PS One still needs to add that pesky /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GNUstep.conf file,
but that's tolerable and easily fixable in the future. And, gnustep-make
has been configured to use clang, so -- install clang. Also,
gnustep-make/Master/deb.make has "/GNUstep" hardcoded in one place and was
generally not tested with the various variations of filesystem layouts...
so - caveat.

PPS The script for installing on Ubuntu that I've put on bitbucket has also
been updated. Set environment variable WITH_DEB to 1 and, besides a nice
up-to-date installation of GNUstep in /GNUstep, you'll also get a set of
.deb packages you can install on other machines or after rm -rf /GNUstep.
