To the contrary, having it installed to a not user-writable place might distract from the fact that this example-preset exists to (and often even needs to) be customised.
If it's just an example, wouldn't it make more sense to just install it to /usr/share for the user to copy it to where he wants it?
That's how it was handled up to now, installed to /usr/share. I'd have to find a way to install an entire directory tree, including lots of files and some empty dirs, without maintaining Makefile.am's and such for every dir. Maybe I'm missing something and there's a simple way to recursively install a directory tree. Despite using google and reading quite a few docs on make and autools I didn't find a simple solution. Pointers are welcome. Installing it to /usr/share as a packed tarball would not give any benefit IMHO. This is sort of an upstream issue. As things are now, I see no way to easily have it installed. If this changes in the future, I'll upload a new package; for now I suggest it be deleted. cheers
