How to create debian package to install files to /home/user?

The whole point of a Debian package is to install system-wide software. Think about it: if multiple users install this package to their respective /home/user/myapp area, what should show up in your package manager? If you want to install to your home directory, use the original source (eg.

Tarball) distribution.

Thanks a lot for your clue – camino May 13 at 2:10 @camino - most tarball installation scripts allow you to set things like "PREFIX" and "LIB"... you should ask the developers of whatever it is you're trying to install for help with user-area installation. – detly May 13 at 2:28.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
