Trying to learn how to package a software
Hi, all. I'm trying to learn how to package a software. I'm using Pivot (http://www.pivotlog.net/) as a case study. It is written in PHP (maybe a bad choice for me because i'm not a PHP programmer) and it has a subdirectory named db where it stores some data. The relevant part is: |-- pivot | |-- db | | |-- refkeys | | |-- rsscache | | |-- search | | |-- standard-0 | | |-- tagdata | | |-- tbkeys | | `-- users I tried to put db in /var/cache/pivot-weblog/db/ and the rest of the directories in /usr/share/pivot-weblog/. However, there are some scripts in the pivot directory that manage the information stored in db and refer to files inside it using relative paths. For exaple, from pv_core.php: if (file_exists(db/ser_lasttrack.php)) I'd like knowing if there is a way to make pv_core.php access the directory /var/cache/pivot-weblog/db/ without writing the full path in the source code. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance. Abra sua conta no Yahoo!
