I'm porting vilearn, an interactive tutorial for vi. It consists of a set of master documents that are copied to ${HOME}/VILEARN when the tutorial is run. By default the Makefile wants to put the master documents in /usr/local/lib/vilearn. I think that they really belong in ${PREFIX}/libdata/vilearn or maybe ${PREFIX}/share/doc/vilearn. Your thoughts, please. Also, the script that runs the tutorial ends with: # # Feel free to delete this on your local system. Do not remove # if you are redistributing: we'd like the truth to be known :) # cat << EOF We hope you have enjoyed and profitted from the tutorial you have just completed. It is unfortunate that we did not profit from these tutorials in any way. We would like to sincerely thank the Information Technology Division of the University of Michigan, a huge bureaucracy with a budget eceeding two million dollars. We offered ITD complete ownership of these tutorials, including user testing and staff training sessions, for the contemptibly small fee of two thousand dollars. For some reason, they could not justify the cost... EOF Is a port a redistribution in this sense? Can/should I comment this out? - Ian
