installs stuff to /var/pandora

[Robert Collins]

Installing pandora-build with the stock standard debian config parameters, I get:

E: pandora-build: non-standard-dir-in-var var/pandora-build/
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/autorun.sh
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/config.rpath
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/lib-ld.m4
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/lib-link.m4
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/lib-prefix.m4
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/pandora-plugin
W: pandora-build: file-in-unusual-dir var/pandora-build/uncrustify.cfg
W: pandora-build: script-not-executable ./var/pandora-build/autorun.sh
W: pandora-build: script-not-executable ./var/pandora-build/config.rpath
W: pandora-build: script-not-executable ./var/pandora-build/pandora-plugin

This is bogus: the m4 files should be in /usr/share/aclocal/
The helper scripts in /usr/lib/pandora-build/
Things that *get written to during use* in /var/lib/pandora-build/
Things that are transient in /var/cache/pandora-build/

If you want to test the build process - install bzr-builddeb
then do
$ bzr branch lp:~lifeless/debian/sid/pandora-build/debian
$ cd debian
$ bzr merge-upstream http://launchpad.net/pandora-build/trunk/lca2010/+download/pandora-build-0.97.tar.gz lp:pandora-build --version=0.97
$ bzr builddeb

Cheers,
Rob
