I looked at your sample package and installation script and here are
some comments.
* I think the tar file should unpack into a single directory with
the name PACKAGE-VERSION. I'm always annoyed when I unpack a tar
file and it dumps a bunch of files directly into my current
directory. Usually I check to see what will happen first with
"tar tzf" but I sometimes forget)
* The file COPYING should be the full text of the license, not just
the text that goes at the head of each source file.
* Should we also provide scripts for creating packages and verifying
that they are complete?
Thanks,
