I'll be making my first ports to Linux this year, and I use my own custom installer for Mac and Win and am looking to extend that for the Linux installs as well.

On Mac and Win it's expected that an installer will take care of putting any files in the appropriate places, setting up any associations needed between the app and its document file types, and make sure icons display appropriately for both the app and its documents.

My understanding is that the various window managers for Linux each have their own mechanisms for these, and that they aren't the same. Is that correct?

Is there a single site you could recommend to get familiar with how to write installers for Linux that provide a smooth user experience?
