'standard' commands

[Jaromír Mikeš]

Hi all,

I've sent patch solving build problems upstream and upstream has questions which I would like to get commented by team members to answer it right and avoid misunderstanding in future.

[quote]
* DESTDIR and the required changes to install are being added
to the Makefile when any of my packasges gets updated.

There's one issue on which I'd want your opinion as
a packager:

What is the best way to refer to 'standard' commands
such as rm, cp, ln, install, ldconfig, etc. etc., in
particular within an 'install' target ?

1. Use the full pathname (which seems to be distro-
   dependent), or
2. Assume they are in the user's or the packaging
   toolset's path, or
3. Use Makefile macros for all of them ?

Things should work both for users intalling directly
from source, and for packaging tools.
[snip]

Thank you for help.
