This package installs its help file, audacity-1.2-help.htb, in
/usr/share/doc/audacity. Since this isn't a human-readable file (or,
more accurately, a file intended to be read manually by the user), I
wonder whether that's really the right place for it. I see it's put
in that location explicitly by the Makefile, so it would be there on
any system, even one which doesn't follow Debian's conventions on use
of /usr/share/doc. I would think /usr/share/audacity would be a
better location for the help file, but I could be off base here. (For
this reason, I cc my reply to debian-mentors, giving someone else the
chance to contradict me.) Otherwise, this looks like a nice cbds
example. :-)
I'm not a DD (yet?), but that's my $0.01. (I didn't say enough to be
worth $0.02 ;-]). That's for helping to create audacity. I've been a
light audacity user since before 1.0. It just keeps getting better.
It also was the tool that introduced me to wxWidgets
(f.k.a. wxWindows) which I use for my own GUI development now.
