Would appreciate helpful criticism of anything I did that was n00b.

Not too bad... However, you should not be using mv. Rather you want "cp" or better yet "install". With install you can set permissions at the same time. e.g. "install -m755 <file> <destination>" will make that file have 755 permissions.

Why are you using /opt?

georgia_tech_swagger · 2008-07-12 16:40:24

Seemed to me to fit with OpenOffice etc in that it's a big blob of code that doesn't use anything else (aside from language it was made in). Doesn't play with others, etc.

Where would you have put it?

/usr - we're moving away from /opt. Your choice though.

Thanks all. I did another release. I used install where I could, and replaced recursive moving around with cp instead of mv. But I still like opt more than I do plodding around in /usr.

The package data should be save in /usr/share/$pkgname/ instead.
