[Slackbuilds-users] Build script for html2ps 1.0b7 is broken.

[Kees Theunissen]

Hello,


The build script for html2ps version 1.0b7 installs most files
in a rather uncommon place: below usr/share/html2ps/.

The patch below seems to fix this but is not tested thoroughly.

After that the "doinst.sh" script complains at install time about a
missing "etc/html2ps/html2psrc.new" file.

I'm not sure how to handle this. The global configuration file is
(with the above patch applied) installed in "/usr/share/html2ps/html2psrc"
without a ".new" extention. I guess that the maintainer (RW) moved the
file intentionally away from /etc and that the ".new" extention was
also removed by intention because the file contains mostly build-time
parameters and should not be considered as a real configuration file.
In that case should the line "config etc/html2ps/html2psrc.new"
and the "config()" subroutine be removed from "doinst.sh".

Kees Theunissen.
