Ivan, if you (or anyone else reading this) are interested, here's what I'm using for my distro (see attachment). It's sort of a compromise between NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, Rhapsody and Mac OS X. I'll eventually change the System prefix here to the distro's name. For now I'm just using a more generic approach, If anyone wants to include it into GNUstep, I don't mind.

I probably won't even try to make them compliant for quite some time :-)

For example, I'm currently installing stuff into /GNUstep and I'm happy with that. If we reach the stage where someone sits down and works on a Debian/Ubuntu remaster which we can give to people as an example GNUstep system (maybe even a live CD!), I'd even go for moving to an OS X-like directory structure (/System/Library, /Library, ~/Library and ~/Library/Preferences).

Anyway, the .deb packages produced now seems to work and I'm uploading the test versions. Allnighters rock.

PS One still needs to add that pesky /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GNUstep.conf file, but that's tolerable and easily fixable in the future. And, gnustep-make has been configured to use clang, so -- install clang. Also, gnustep-make/Master/deb.make has "/GNUstep" hardcoded in one place and was generally not tested with the various variations of filesystem layouts... so - caveat.

PPS The script for installing on Ubuntu that I've put on bitbucket has also been updated. Set environment variable WITH_DEB to 1 and, besides a nice up-to-date installation of GNUstep in /GNUstep, you'll also get a set of .deb packages you can install on other machines or after rm -rf /GNUstep.
