I am getting started on taking over a package that someone else didn't want I have just sent in my message to new-maintainers to offically register to become a developer Just would like to ask (before my technical questions below) what is the proper procedure for taking over the package? I have been lookin gover the source code for the current debian releace of the package and have found a problem (I think...either this is wrong or I am confused) The Makefile contains an install target (good) but....this it does things like this: cp <file> /usr/man..... you get the idea...it is installin gdirectly into the filesystem rather than using $(DESTDIR) ...how could this work? I know that the old maintainer (well technically still the current since I am not officall yet) just threw it together to "Test the waters" .... is this wrong? should I change all of these to install to $(DESTDIR)/usr/..... ? (I am at work and realized I don't have the right compiler...I will try compiling it at home...later...) but...should this work? how could a debian package have even been made with this set wrong? any help is greatly apreciated -Steve
