[Oorexx-devel] RFC: Installing BSF4ooRexx into ooRexx home directory ?

2010-08-02 Thread Rony G. Flatscher
Hi there, experimenting with the Linux installation of BSF4ooRexx I am wondering whether it was o.k. for everyone if I would install BSF4ooRexx as the subdirectory /opt/ooRexx/bsf4oorexx ? This way the new vesions of BSF4ooRexx would be located in a firmly defined directory, controlled by the

Did you test that it wouldn't get deleted if ooRexx is uninstalled? Other than that, maybe it would be better to try and guage if users would want it installed that way? As a user, I don't think I would. -- Mark Miesfeld On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 9:49 AM, Rony G. Flatscher

I know that I wrote the ooRexx V4.0.1 scripts for MacOS preflight and postflight to touch only the things that were ooRexx. They will not remove BSF4Rexx if present. I know that the version 3.2 ooRexx install for MacOS included BSF4Rexx. Bruce On Aug 2, 2010, at 10:13 AM, Mark Miesfeld

1. I guess I'm that person. I modified the preflight and postflight scripts from ooRexx V3.2 I added in the necessary stuff to get the rxapi daemon running. I chose not to touch anything other than ooRexx, just incase BSF4Rexx was installed under /opt/ooRexx, as was done in ooRexx V3.2.

Mark is absolutely correct in feeling that installing packages inside other packages is a big no-no. It violates the Linux file system standard (Lbig time. I would suggest that BSF4Rexx be installed directly in /opt/BSF4Rexx and that is should make no modifications to anything in any other
