Hi there, I just need some expert advise on a location of a directory. I have a package [tigger] that create a gallery from a directory full of pictures. It has a feature to add a drop shadow to the preview. This requires the use of about 4/5 extra graphics that come this the program. The upstream stores them in the foler images/ and recommeneds manually putting them in your webserver root directory so that any gallery's you create on that webserver all share the same images/ (this presumes that all the gallerys you create are for that webserver).
The program has a "--imagedir=" option to manual choose where the images/ directory is relevant to the pictures on the webserver i.e. if the pictures were in /var/www/gallery, /var/www/images would be "--imagedir=/images". (btw -- the program defaultly uses /images for the images directory). Now what happens when you either don't have a local webserver, or are not creating the gallery for it? Should the package put the images/ directory in a directory some where (/etc/tigger/images/) then get the user to move it to the apporiate place and telling them to use "--imagedir=", noting this in the README.debian and man page. I take it that making a depend on apache, and auto placing the images/ in /var/www/images/ is out of the question. Sorry if you don't under stand my question and get lost after the first sentance due to my bad wording, I'm no good at explaining stuff :-) Thanks in advance, Hereward
