[Solved] How to include examples for an AUR package

fana · 2012-01-20 00:07:10

Hi,

I read the wiki pages how to create packages for the AUR,
but I am not sure how to include examples which should be placed
in /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples/ after the package was installed.

Should all files be mentioned in the "sources" variable of the PKGBUILD
or is it better to copy them via the .install file?

I think these files be included in the source, like e.g. http://www.archlinux.org//packages/comm … mpp/files/ It has only a PKGBUILD, no .install file http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … event-xmpp

Ah, I see. So a good way would be just providing a tarball with all the examples and add that tarball to the source array

Yup, I don't see how are these are examples different [1] from the other files.

[1] Well, apart from stuff like https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25998 ;P
