+1 That should be included in the next developer cycle in the plugins' Makefile. Have stumbled upon this two or three times. I do know it now but the next one will hit it for sure. :) > [3] completely missing usage of RESDIR which also can be read out of > vdr.pc and any sample commented out target using it, that way many > plugin authors continue just to ignore it even if their plugin actually > comes with lots of non-program files we all call resources, which have > to be installed under a certain pattern, only modifiable by the RESDIR > variable. It would be nice, if the plugin's install target would install its resources to its well defined resource directory (it's $RESDIR/plugins/$PLUGIN, isn't it?). That would make packaging even more easy. > Could continue with CACHEDIR, but that applies to less > plugins... I understand CACHEDIR as a location for runtime generated data which doesn't necessarily survive reboots of the vdr. I don't think it should be the target of any installation files.
