Control: tags -1 patch I have created a better patch for setup.py that allows you pass a --packaging option to setup.py to hardwire the resource path to /usr/share when the build happens in a temporary directory.
Without the option, the resource path is automatically calculated as normal for local installs. Hopefully this patch can be included upstream (because the previous patch was not suitable for a local install). Cheers, Ross
