Hamish, thanks for the review.
Michael, Peter,
Are you able to address this ASAP?
I've very keen to have rasdaman working 100% before we make our first
release candidate for testing, due on 21 Feb, in 24 to 48 hours.
Please let us know as soon as you are finished, so that a 2nd person can
test the install script in the latest VM.

Hi, I've now had a change to review the script and see why the
icons didn't make it into the menu.
the following changes are needed in the rasdaman installer:
-space on the disc is extraordinarily tight. please remove -dev packages
when you are done with them.
-please use /tmp/build_rasdaman/ for your git downloads and build, not the
base build dir [./bin/]. Grep many/most other install scripts for examples.
-to keep the noise down in the live disc's build log, for large files please
use wget's --progress=dot:mega option. (-c is not appropriate for unversioned
filenames, but -N can help there (n.b. -N doesn't work in combo with -O))
-do not use "chmod 777 -R". set group ownership to the "users" or "www-data"
group and change to g+w. Grep other scripts for examples.
-use the --quiet flag when you run psql to avoid cluttering the build log.
-icon files currently double-set the Categories= setting.
-for the GIS menu to include your app you must copy the .desktop files
from /usr/share/applications/ into $USER/Desktop/.
-for consistency all *.desktop icon files should probably be lowercased,
although I've just modified the menu-building script to work with all your
icon files in the state they are in now. (but they still need to be copied
over to the user's Desktop/ to be included in the menus; see packaging
instructions on the wiki*)
