[OSM-dev] (unofficial) Mapnik 0.7.1. packages for Ubuntu 10.04

[fatzopilot]

Hi,

I've created (unofficial) Mapnik 0.7.1. packages for Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) by
copying and modifying the package meta information of the 0.7.0 version.
They seem to work, however, I have a couple of questions and hope somebody
can answer them here.
* Is there some official place to put them so that others can benefit from
them? E.g. I was thinking about lucid backports but I have no idea on how to
proceed.
* Where to put the config (osm.xml) and auxiliary files (boundaries etc.)?
In a manual install, they usually reside in the same folder as the *.py
scripts, but now, the *.py scripts live in /usr/bin and I think it is bad
practice to also put the config and auxiliary files there as well. How to
get the *.py files (e.g. generate_xml.py) that live in the /usr/bin folder
to use the config and auxiliary files living elsewhere? Where do they go in
the case of Mapnik 0.7.0 on lucid?

Thanks
