I have a tarball with some documentation, examples, models and
scripts that I like to have installed under $PREFIX/share
First of all how do I do this in the Makefile? I mean I can
just do 'cp work/package-name/documentation/* ${PREFIX}/share/doc'
but I've seen that ports Makefiles like to have more generic
ways of doing it ... perhaps there are some variables
already set that I can use ...
Then the second issue is that of playing well with others
and avoid polluting $PREFIX/share. hier(7) says nothing
about /usr/local/share, but I've seen that
i) there are package specific directories
-> I can create one for my port and dump everything there
ii) there are 'doc' and 'examples' dirs
-> I can dump docs and examples there, but what about the
other extra stuff (scripts and models)?
What is the recommended way of dealing with this?
Thanks in advance,
Fernan
