i was fixing a bug earlier today when i noticed this change in an ebuild: |
| 2 |
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/app-shells/rssh/rssh-2.1.1.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4 |
| 3 |
(i'm refering to the libexecdir change) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
the reason cited was 'Comply with Gentoo policies with respect to |
| 6 |
libexecdir.' ... i did some research with FHS and they dont |
| 7 |
mention /usr/libexec or /usr/lib/misc anywhere ... logically though it seems |
| 8 |
to stem from the same ideas that /var/lib/misc holds ... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
one of the things /usr/lib is for is 'internal binaries that are not intended |
| 11 |
to be executed directly by users or shell scripts' ... however, if a package |
| 12 |
has like one or two such files, it doesnt make sense cluttering /usr/lib with |
| 13 |
them which is where /usr/libexec comes into the picture. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
i'm all for this change (moving /usr/libexec to /usr/lib/misc) but i'm |
| 16 |
wondering what others think :) |
