Simple and, I think, robust. I've adopted this approach, thank you. > You'll also have to modify Makefile.in to call install(1) with the > -D option. Something along these lines : This isn't necessary for the debian package: there is a file "dirs" which defines which directories need to be created, and the harness does this prior to executing the makefile. However it looks like it might be a good idea in general. There are only a couple of items left for me to go over before I'll resubmit the package :) a) man (groff, nroff, troff, or something) complains about the copyright symbol in deutex.6. I am still looking into this, but the most pragmatic fix would be to just put (c) in instead :) I believe it may be possible to instead specify an encoding somewhere (defaults to ascii I believe) b) On the man front, there's a deutex.6 in the root of the build directory and also in docsrc. Would you like a patch to clarify which is 'master'? c) -Wall gives some minor warnings: namely, 'suggest explicit parens' around areas where nested if/else blocks don't have them, and a procedure defined but not used (dump_junk src/sscript.c:221). I presume that this is not news :) I don't suppose you want them 'fixed', too? -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/
