Package: slsh
Version: 2.1.3-3
Severity: normal
slsh 2.1.3-3 breaks jed -- some S-Lang scripts/functions are not available.
Diagnosis:
after an update to slsh (2.1.3-3) some jed-extra (e.g. ffap.sl) scripts
failed to work.
I could track this down to "/usr/share/slsh/" missing in the jed
library path.
The reason is given indirectly in slsh's changelog.Debian.gz
* set SLSH_LOCALLIB_DIR="", as we don't ship a local-packages dir in
Debian (breaks FSSTND).
while the code in site.sl adds /usr/share/slsh/ to the library path only if
/usr/share/slsh/local-packages" exists.
This can be fixed by making site.sl more foolproof (at the expense of one
more file stat during program start).
The problem was discussed in pkg-jed-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.
However, consensus is still needed on
* was /usr/share/slsh/local-packages removed because of the assumption that
it is intended for local (sysadmin) addtions?
Could adding
The directory /usr/share/slsh/local-packages exists so that 3rd party
packages can be installed here. Read /usr/share/jed/lib/site.sl
for a usage example.
to README.Debian solve the problem?
* does the FHS prohibit /usr/share/slsh/local-packages
because of its name?
Would /usr/share/slsh/site-packages be ok?
* does the FHS prohibit /usr/share/slsh/local-packages
because of its location?
Would /usr/lib/slsh/local-packages be ok?
Would /usr/lib/slsh/site-packages be ok?
* where should additional S-Lang scripts for slsh and|or Jed be placed
that are
- installed by the "system" (e.g. a Debian package)
- installed by the administrator
- installed by the user
