Hi, I have just started looking at packaging Yorick[1][2], an interpreted programming language for scientific simulations. It seems that this is BSD licensed and so would be suitable for packaging in Fedora. However, by default and design it has a really horrible filesystem layout[3], with files under the following directory: relocate/ files required for building compiled packages, and: bin/ binary executables lib/ binary libraries for compiled packages include/ header files for compiled package APIs i0/ interpreted code required for yorick to start i/ optional interpreted code libraries i-start/ interpreted code that autoloads at startup g/ graphics style files, palettes, and templates doc/ documentation files According to the docs[3], it's possible to move the whole "relocate" directory elsewhere (eg. to be under /usr), but not to move directories underneath the main directory. This of course violates our packaging guidelines in many ways. Before I look into what's required to patch this beast to meet the packaging guidelines, I wonder if anyone else has tried packaging it, and/or wants to help?
