Its not really a requirement for a particular directory structure. It
has more to do with which files can go where.
Do you mean the final destination of the files or do you mean the origin of
the files inside the released tarball ?

I can easily selectively copy the different files to the required
locations but my concern is that whether such a trick actually work.
Let us know where they are supposed to go. What about the existing Fedora
package ? Does it copy to the wrong places ?
I
found a lot of hardcodings as far as the paths of files are concerned.
I don't think there is anything hardcoded. Pretty much all is handled as long
it is in the python PATH. We need to know what files you want where.
I am afraid that if I move the python files to the required
directories, it might break the application.
Don't worry just let us know what you want.
The package could also be autotoolized or atleast a makefile should
be
provided so that it is easier to configure and install.
I am not capable of either. This has been discussed back and forth. Noone on
our team has the skills and we did not see any obvious benefit.
Looking forward to working this out.
Me too,
Sebastian
