documentation needs updating

[bodhi.zazen]

I just finished packaging display-dhammapada for Fedora and so went through this package.

1. The man page needs updating as it contains undefined macros and dead links / url.

see below for patchs
patch display-dhammapada.1
patch display-dhammapada.1.in

2. When reviewing the package, the Makefile appears to be intended to be run as root. This is sort of outdated as most packaging is done as users using fakeroot. I had to patch the Makefile for Fedora, you may wish to review this in the .deb

If you wish, I can attach my Makefile as a patch, but, rmp packaging is different from deb, so much of it is defined in the (rpm) .spec

What you will want to look at is

a. Packaging as a user, not root.
b. Ownership and permissions of files.
c. The c-flags. You may or may not wish to update the cflags.
d. The path (see #3) for files.

3. You may wish to review the locations of the display-dhammapada .txt files. By default , /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib are used. I am not sure if either are appropriate, so I moved it to /usr/share

in display-dhammapada.c

See patch display-dhammapada.c

4. I think the file examples/xsession should start with a shee-bang

#! /bin/sh

I will report this on Debian as well, not sure how active upstream (from Debian) is ...
