Hi,

I want to create a new package xchat-privacy. Actually no binary files
need to be installed/replaced. Only a few configuration files have to be
replaced, such as ~/xchat2/xchat.conf, ~/xchat2/ignore.conf, etc.

What is the correct way to copy files to /home/$user?

I think I've seen this questions asked few times already so I've addedit to list's FAQ [1]. Please update/improve FAQ entry if you know how tomake it better.


cheers,
Tomek
