What about the lines that install stuff in the $HOME directory, can I
leave those in the info file? The program won't execute when these files
are missing, but since they are installed outside /sw, I am not sure
what to do here.
mkdir $HOME/.t_coffee
mkdir $HOME/.t_coffee/cache
mkdir $HOME/.t_coffee/methods
mkdir $HOME/.t_coffee/tmp
I have no opinion on this either way. There are many packages that
install stuff in ~/.* directories, without showing them in their file
lists. In any case, if you do this in the CompileScript instead of the
PostInstScript, these files won't exist in the *.deb and will therefpre
not be installed when the package is not built from source but just
installed from the *.deb. Another problem is that these directories are
often owned by root which can give problems when the program is run as
non-root afterwards.
There are other packages that put the stuff meant for $HOME into
/sw/share/doc/%n and tell the user via DescUsage how to put the files
into $HOME themselves.
