---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Ferrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 13:26:37 +0100 (BST) Subject: Conversion from CVS snapshot to released tarball? I have a question which is probably either very simple or quite complex. How does the CVS snapshot of dia get converted to the the released tarballs? Their file structure is somewhat different in places, and I'm assuming there must be some automated process for this, probably to do with the whole automake/autoconf thing. The reason I ask is that I'm trying to figure out how to access the AUTHORS file at runtime. Currently, if I do 'make install' on a CVS snapshot, the AUTHORS file does not get installed anywhere. The current Debian package for 0.90 (I use Debian testing/unstable) installs AUTHORS in /usr/share/doc/dia-common/AUTHORS, but then this is the standard Debian location for all such things, so don't know if this is a useful observation anyway. This was a problem that also exhibited itself yesterday, when I was trying to write the Gnome 2 about box patch, accessing dia-logo.png. This doesn't seem to be installed by default either, and I had to copy it to /usr/local/share/dia, which is where Dia appeared to be looking for it (according to the terminal error message). So in this case I fixed it manually. But I don't know whether AUTHORS will get installed in the final release version of Dia or not, and if so where, and how to get Dia to find the right location. Can someone clarify all this for me a bit?
