Hi all,
Blair pointed me to the fact that source packages
are not supposed to contain docs, according to our
specs. I object that recommendation. In my opinion,
source packages should contain everything outside
the bin directory, and binary packages should
contain everything outside the source
I think you are referring to this mini-HOWTO:
http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.Distribution
Yes, I agree that the source package should contain everything short of
the generated binaries. If there are dupe files, let them be
overwritten. This mini-HOWTO needs to be
Two small notes:
(1) The HELP file (for FASTHELP) is probably NOT required in the
source package either
(2) There are docs that are very specific to sources (e.g. how to
build and such), that I myself usually don't pack under DOC, but under
SRC\DOC, so that they are only installed with sources (I
I agree with Aitor.

Hi!
Let me disagree. Source package should contain only sources and other
files, which not need for program' user (not developer). Binary package
shouldn't contain these files. For example, doc/emm386/build.txt should be
present only in sources package, but it not need in binary package.
Hi,
2006/8/28, Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
To bring this in context of our installer: The sources
included CDROM could just contain ONE set of FULL packages
and selectively skip files in source/ directories at the
moment when the packages are unzipped. That would also allow
full 8 char file
Just another one: perhaps we should think and standarize the HELP
(HTML-Help) directories, so that we distribute the HTM with the
packages itself, as opposed to submit them to the HTML-Help
maintainer, and hope that both programs (mine and HTML-Help) will be
distributed together with the sync-ed
I very much like the current spec and would wish to stick to it. I'm
not going to go about changing the packaging scheme (especially for
the distros).
