webserver directory locations when you're not using a webserver

[Hereward Cooper <zadok@phreaker.net>]

Hi there,

I just need some expert advise on a location of a directory. I have a package
[tigger] that create a gallery from a directory full of pictures. It has a
feature to add a drop shadow to the preview. This requires the use of about 4/5
extra graphics that come this the program. The upstream stores them in  the
foler images/ and recommeneds manually putting them in your webserver root
directory so that any gallery's you create on that webserver all share the same
images/ (this presumes that all the gallerys you create are for that webserver).

The program has a "--imagedir=" option to manual choose where the images/
directory is relevant to the pictures on the webserver i.e. if the pictures were
in /var/www/gallery, /var/www/images would be "--imagedir=/images". (btw -- the
program defaultly uses /images for the images directory).

Now what happens when you either don't have a local webserver, or are not
creating the gallery for it? Should the package put the images/ directory in a
directory some where (/etc/tigger/images/) then get the user to move it to the
apporiate place and telling them to use "--imagedir=", noting this in the
README.debian and man page. I take it that making a depend on apache, and auto
placing the images/ in /var/www/images/ is out of the question.

Sorry if you don't under stand my question and get lost after the first sentance
due to my bad wording, I'm no good at explaining stuff :-)

Thanks in advance,

Hereward
