In the long term, you should ask upstream to fix this (why aren't they being installed if they are required? are you missing a flag when you configure the build?) > - First dir "config-files" contain config files (something like presets) and > few very small *.wav files (250KB). > This dir should be accessible easily for user to edit config files. > > - Second dir "reverbs" contain just *.wav files in subdirs (6.3MB). > config files from first dir assuming that this dir has path /audio/reverbs. > > > Please can you advise me where create "config-files" dir to match debian > policy. If they're purely configuration files, and meant to be system-wide, they should be in a subdirectory in /etc. But if they are user-specific, they should get put in the user's home directory (note: there's no way to do this in your packaging, the application must do it on startup). > Is creating dir /audio/reverbs alowed in debian? Absolutely not (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html). >If not where place dir like this. I suggest /usr/share/<your-package>/audio/reverbs. Also, if they are big, they should be in a seperate binary package (jconv-fx, perhaps?) that is arch-independent, along with any other effects stuff you want installing. > > Thank you for help > > mira > -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
