Re: Best way to install images from the inside upstream source code tree

 This causes the installation of the image files under:
 
   usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/glue/qt/icons/
 
 I want to know the best/correct way to install those files under:
  usr/share/

try¹ with --install-data=/usr/share/python-glue/
(and patch the module to use this directory, distutils/stuptools allows
to install data in a different directory, but doesn't inform module
where this new directory is... seriously)

[¹] if this doesn't work, patch setup.py as well (and send it upstream)
or override_dh_auto_install and move these files by hand

Best way to install images from the inside upstream source code tree

[Josue Ortega]

Hi,

Currently I am packaging Glue[1], it uses PyQT for its UI. Upstream has placed
the images used in the UI inside the source code tree. e.g:

  glue/qt/icons/

Just to make it more clear, under the glue directory exists the upstream source 
code.

This causes the installation of the image files under:

  usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/glue/qt/icons/

I want to know the best/correct way to install those files under:
 usr/share/

Thanks
