-installtypes file format:
-
-typename:description filetype|location (one blank line to end one
-installtype and begin the next)
-
-You can specify a unix path in location, or 'userdir' to indicate that
-the user should be prompted and asked which directory they want to
-install into. Bugzilla will attempt to provide them with a reasonible
-default.
-
-Most packagers will not want to change very many installlayout settings.
-It is important to ensure that 'res' has the appearence of being in the
-same directory as cgi and req to the http server, though this can be
-accomplished through careful configuration of your httpd.conf config
-files. req and cgi should almost always be in the same directory
-however. tst can be set to null for systems where the tests are unwanted
-or unnessicary (they will be run upon installation and upgrading as part
-of the 'make test' process. tem can be set to any path wanted, the
-template search/include path in Bugzilla will be set automatically. mod
-may also be set anywhere, use lib lines will be added to Bugzilla
-scripts.
-
-The doc setting is "magical" in that a third paramater is used to set
-which types of documentation is installed. This may be set to 'all' and
-all types of documents will be copied, or to any one of the supported
-documentation types (with a corresponding directory in bugzilla/docs/)
-
-Filetypes: res: resources (images, html, js, etc) cgi: cgi files mod:
-modules req: something that must be with the other cgi scripts for
-bugzilla to work null: not needed in the dist, discard tst: tests
-
-You MUST add any new files to the filemappings file or it will not be
-copied into the installed dist. The tests will check for this.
-
-Do _not_ include any documentation or templates in the filemappings
-list, the makefile has special rules written in to accomidate these.
