Bug#814859: RFS: runescape/0.1-1 [ITP] -- Set in a fantasy world of war, landscapes and sinister powers

[Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofborg@debian.org>]

Hi,

>Added the "metadata" in d/upstream


wonderful!
>Sorry, I do not have programming skills in C and makefile.


actually the "issue" is:
-why did you create a c code that only starts a program?
you can start it directly, with a bash script, as it was done before.

I'm not sure having a program that just starts another program (or a script) is
a good solution.

Can you please write *where* I asked you that?

lets quote myself

a makefile can install stuff, it is not requested that should build also
something.
Just create a makefile that on make install installs manpages and desktop on
$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/whatever

and rely on that in your rules file.

If you can't, not a problem, just throw away the c file and restore the installation
in debian packaging.

thanks!
