Staden Package

As the binaries work on all Suse distributions, I though to skip the build process and just have the binaries unpacked by rpm and then add the suse-specific files to the correct places. These additional files are mainly kde.desktop files, icons and

export STADENROOT=/usr/local/staden-linux-1-4-1

and sourcing

/usr/local/staden-linux-1-4-1/staden.profile

in ~/.bashrc.

Thus the unpacking would be just
tar --extract --verbose --gzip --absolute-names --file=staden-linux-1-4-1.tar.gz

and

Two things have to be accomplished: 1. The menu should contain appropriate entries. 2. The files should be clickable and have appropriate "Open with" entries. 1. is easy to do. The (systemwide) entries for the menu are in /opt/kde3/share/applnk. I just added an addiitonal directory structure under this directory: Science `-- Staden |-- Gap4.desktop |-- Pregap4.desktop |-- Spin.desktop |-- Stadenlaunch.desktop `-- Trev.desktop If you edit the menu as a regular user, the entries are only valid for yourself.
