Im making a port for motor (http://konst.org.ua/motor/), and I have it
compiling and everything is good, except included in the motor tarball,
is another tarball with a bunch of examples for themes, and macros and
such. When you install motor by just ./configure && make install, it
untars everything into /usr/local/share/motor, and Im wondering what the
preferred method is.
Should I just copy the tarball into /usr/local/share/motor, or actually
untar it while its building the package, so it will be included in
motor-3.0.0.tgz?
Is there a method for giving the installer a choice at install time?
"Do you want to install examples?"
If not, how about installing the tarball in ../motor and giving a
heads up at the end of installation, like with majordomo for example?
