I give you an example, I now just zip geany. WHen user downloads it and extracts, he must rund .sh script with sudo, which will ln -s folder from where he extracted (glide file) to /usr/share/geany.
That is already MUCH simpler for my user than ./configure, then make install etc.
But IF Geany could just implement a few additional lines of code here and there, the zip could just contain startGeany script which starts geany executable with additional env. variable or switch, and it would just fix the problem. No reconfiguring, no rebuilding or installing, no sudo.
