I'll go with putting the rules in /usr/doc.
Ed - I'll need to test the slackbuild on 15.0 in due course because I'm
actually doing this on -current as it happens as it's on the laptop I use
for astro stuff with kstars/ekos. Works very well. Thanks for your efforts
getting that into slackware! I have noticed that the QHY libraries shipped
with firecapture are slightly older than those in my libindi-libraries
package, but I did adapt your slackbuilds for my needs as I needed the
latest betas from QHY to support the minicam8. Again, I'll need to test
this again on 15.0 with your vanilla slackbuilds. I'll report back if I
learn anything from that.
Andrew
