/usr/share/cowsay subdirectory? #8

Closed apjanke closed 4 years ago

apjanke commented 4 years ago

The standard installation from classic cowsay puts the cows/ directory directly under $prefix/share. And I added a site-cows/ directory next to it.

Should these go under a $prefix/share/cowsay directory instead?

TODO: Research what packagers do, including MacPorts and Debian.

Ah. MacPorts is patching it to put it under $prefix/share/cowsay: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/cowsay/files/patch-install.sh.diff.

Debian is also apparently patching it to move cows/ under $prefix/share/cowsay: https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/cowsay/filelist.

So we should change over to doing /usr/share/cowsay.

Done in https://github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay/commit/306d8e7ed0b14288fc8ec459cf7edc05c1533d9b.
