Re: [Scsh-hackers] packaging proposal design issues

I withdraw my support from requiring a "standard" directory layout.

I add my support to giving the administrator the tools to install a
custom directory tree and package author the tools to find resources
in that custom install tree.

I think we have reached a consensus.

I suggest that the install script should be able to dump a file
listing the customizable variables and their default values. If this
configuration file exists, install should use it to provide the
values. That way, while I'm developing, I can set the variables once
and avoid memorizing and typing a huge set of options on the command
line each time I install.

Thank you for your hard work.
