No, I don't have such a patch right now. It's not difficult to do, but: > however, /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist.d/* is a SUSE-only thingy If it's already a SUSE-only thingy, it shouldn't become more SUSE-only, it should become less SUSE-only. So just forget my proposal of patching it locally, it has to be implemented upstream. Until then, it is a very bad idea and there has to be a different solution. Btw. the current SuSEconfig.automake solution is not perfect either because it overwrites the dirlist with the contents of the dirlist.d/* files. So users are actually already forced to use the SUSE-only dirlist.d in order to get something into the dirlist! It would be overwritten otherwise. Now my idea was, do it entirely without overwriting the dirlist and entirely not SUSE-only, by just appending the directories to the existing dirlist in %post and removing it in %postun. And you have caught me, because it is difficult to do: - How to avoid adding entries which are already there? Use grep? - How to handle the situation that GNOME might move from /opt/gnome to /usr? - How to avoid accidentally removing still needed entries? Maybe SuSEconfig is not that bad after all ;-) What about just hard-coding /opt/gnome/share/aclocal into the dirlist, so that it's in the dirlist even if gnome-filesystem is not installed at all? Would that work? It looks ugly, but /etc/ld.so.conf has the same, it also references directories that might not exist at all on certain installations.
