Hi, I have been using FreeBSD for a long time now (+15 years), and I raring to submit 3 ports, each one a Bourne script.
With one of the ports (mkdesktop), I am facing a situation that I cannot resolve using the existing information, at least as far as I am concerned. mkdesktop (which is a script itself) sources another script named stage-definitions. While mkdesktop can happily live under /usr/local/bin, stage-definitions is far from ideally located in that directory. Instead, stage-definitions must reside on a per-user basis in $HOME/mkdesktop. What I am looking to do is that when a user runs mkdesktop, it checks for the directory $HOME/mkdesktop. If that directory does not exist, mkdesktop creates it and then copies the default stage-definitions file into it (the user can then modify it as [s]he wishes). The question is, at this stage, where do I get the default stage-definitions file from. If I specify stage-definitions among the package's listing, it will go into one of the standard directories, which is not what I want. Thanks for any help.
