Two things:
1. I don’t understand why you are not reporting these problems to the list or
the bug tracker. Multiple people have repeatedly stated their willingness to
help you (but, understandably, not their willingness to be insulted), so I
don’t think you have a good reason to withhold them.
2. The links you provide are not actually very helpful, I click myself through
quite a few launchpad pages to get to where the actual packaging scripts were.
So I can only hope that these are the right ones:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~thopiekar/gnustep/gnustep-make-packaging/files
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~thopiekar/gnustep/gnustep-base-packaging/files
The rules file in the base packaging seems to move stuff around when
installing. In my opinion that’s not the right approach: If there are problems
with the FHS filesystem layout, theses should be fixed in -make (though
changes to base might be needed if that affects resource loading from bundles).
I think we can sort this out if you can provide us with a list of things where
we deviate from the FHS standard.
Best regards,
Niels
