Well, just try actually installing your packages on a FreeDOS system... That's the whole point. Then you will see what happens :)
Every single package must be tested before being published - testing means installing on a real system, verifying that the software works, that files are organized as they should be, then uninstalling it and re-checking that nothing has been broken. Here is the 'official' description of what a package is: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Package Although an even better (or at least complementary) approach would be looking at how existing packages are structured. good luck, Mateusz On 08/09/2015 08:39, Mercury Thirteen wrote: > It's 2:35 AM here, so I'm not handy to the exact location of where I > found it, but I followed information on FD.org to structure the > directories as they are, so I'm curious how what I did differs from what > was expected. > > On 9/8/2015 2:31 AM, Mateusz Viste wrote: >> I took a quick pick at your big ZIP file.
