Fwd: Bug#90121: Symlinks in share/glade/gnome shouldn't be relative



Hi, 

I've just received this bug.
I think I must maintain relative symlinks (otherwise I would be against
debian policy 11.5), however skilled feedback would be wellcomed.
 
 Thanks in advance,

Subject: Bug#90121: Symlinks in share/glade/gnome shouldn't be relative

Package: glade-gnome
Version: 0.5.11-5

I didn't know whether to post this to glade-gnome or glademm, but since
the files are in the glade-gnome package, I decided to send it here.

The files in /usr/share/glade/gnome are symlinks to corresponding files in
/usr/share/aclocal/gnome, the problem as I see it is that these symlinks
are relative (../../aclocal/gnome/*), so when glademm copies those
symlinks to the macros directory, they break.

I see two solutions:
* glademm should follow the symlinks instead and copy the real files.
* glade-gnome should have absolute (/usr/share/...) links instead.

The way I see it, the easiest solution is to let glade-gnome have absolute
links instead, hence I mailed the report here.

glademm version: 0.5.11e-3

Cheers,
Martin Sjögren
