Look at the repository I pointed you to in another email thread.

I'd recommend you to build a proper package (RPM or DEB, depending what
distro we are talking about), move modification to the upgrade plugin
instead. Again, see example in the repo I mentioned. Having non-packaged
content on the package-managed machines is not going to help in longer
term, maintenance-wise.
