Because adding a file to the installation through the scp2 configuration is an incredibly overcomplicated process, we often resort to packing a set of files into a zip, that is then replaced by the installer by its contents. Now, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e9b947a6665170f96ba4182d81a630da74ea96a2 adds the ability to use a filelist in the same way (and enhances Package to create the filelists automatically). This allows us to replace most uses of Zip by a Package. What needs to be done to successfully convert a Zip to a Package: 1. (gbuild) Convert the Zip_foo.mk to Package_foo.mk: - change destination paths of all files to the same ones they have in the installation. One can find the path (with some labour) in scp2: every File and Directory record has an entry that points to its parent directory; it is called Dir for Files and ParentID for Directories. The name of a Directory is in its DosName entry. By starting at the File record of the zip file and going through the directories up till the root directory of the installation, one can reconstruct the path. - use gb_Package_set_outdir to place the files under $INSTDIR, where they are expected. 2. (scp2) Change the scp2 record: - change filename to <package-name>.filelist - replace ARCHIVE by FILELIST in Styles - change Dir to FILELIST_DIR. For testing, remove the zip from $(OUTDIR)/pck, run "make dev-install" and make sure the files are in the installation at the places they should be. This actually sounds more complicated than it is :-) With a bit of practice a conversion of one Zip will not take more that a few minutes. There are two example conversions for inspiration: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=221cd46f47f40c892e554b0848978bda3d9957e1 and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a593069ff9f64dd94e8210b0cff03b65fe059b40 .

the Zip_accessories* in extras/ are too complicate for me and I'm less confident for the other modules than those I converted (with David's help). Certainly someone will keep on.
