We can get rid /usr/libexec per system basis - change default in econf |
| 16 |
--libexecdir=/usr/lib or use GNU-FHS module for autoconf based configure |
| 17 |
scripts |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Users are encouraged to add subdirectories in /usr/lib, for example: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
./configure --libexecdir=/usr/lib/gnome-applets2 (or similar) for GNOME2 |
| 22 |
applet packages. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Redirection to /usr/sbin will occur only for inetd network services |
| 25 |
(where /usr/lib is not nice) and similar thinks. GNU-FHS adds |
| 26 |
--with-libexec-sbin |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
There were a long discussion on fhs-discuss about is 3 years ago. |

/usr/X11R6/share has never been part of XFree86. |
