Debianization issues about gpuowl HOT 4 CLOSED

I guess here it is matter to check for existence of /usr/share/gpuowl directory, if it exists, load .cl files from it, otherwise load .cl files from current directory.

I can try to embed the OpenCL source into the binary.
Right now it doesn't load the .cl from the same location as the binary (e.g. /usr/bin), but from the current directory (where the binary is launched).

Sorry about hesitating on this. Now I think it is not worth the effort because the new method of installation does not rely on packages at all. I said to Debian people that for one .cl file it is abominable to scatter the program all over, and that it should simply live in a user directory like /home/<username>/gpuowl.

As I said we have a new installation method that relies only on repositories. The packaging is an interim step that has to be tailored for each Linux distribution, which is cumbersome to maintain. I made an attempt at packaging for Debian and uploaded gpuowl version 5.0 to debian repository and asked for support, after more than 40 days no one has picked up the package for review.
I have no intention to maintain the package any more because it is now (IMHO) an obsolete step that I would like to avoid. Instead I have developed scripts (https://github.com/valeriob01/gpu-computing-node) that do the same job and are easily portable between Linux distributions.
