Packaging issues #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

As a frum packager of FOSS, I am quite pleased to see this project under 
way.  Yishar Koach!

A few questions about the packaging:

1) What advantage is there to using KHTML over QtWebKit on *NIX systems?  
KHTML is a pretty heavy dependency for a program that isn't really KDE-
integrated, particularly where QtWebKit is anyways available.

2) Installing targets should be done by defining target.path then INSTALL 
+= target.  This is more portable, particularly on platforms which use an 
.exe suffix for executables (e.g. Cygwin).

3) Installing data under /usr/share/ but the binary under /usr/local/bin 
doesn't really conform to the FHS; everything should be under one prefix.  
Since /usr/share/Orayta is hardcoded into the sources (which in itself is a 
separate issue), then IMHO you should use /usr/bin instead.

A patch for 2) and 3) is attached.

Hi,

1) The unique engine was initially QtWebkit, but KHTML rendering is much 
faster, so
it was added by default. (Windows program use QtWebkit)

why use KHTML or QtWebit? KHTML is basically useless and outdated and is 
specifically kde. Just use Webkit so it can be installed in non-kde 
environments without kde dependencies.

Please include a tarball that non-ubuntu/debian or gentoo users can install

I'm closing this.
KHTML is no longer used, and the source code can always be obainted from 
http://code.google.com/p/orayta/source/checkout .

The packaging may still be non FHS, but it makes no sense to put the sources in 
/bin, and anyway all programs Iv'e met do the same as us. So that gets a 
'won't-fix'.
