Hi all, |
| 2 |
little question (that could start up a flame): what's the official status |
| 3 |
of /usr/libexec directory? |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I was told on IRC time ago to prefer /usr/$(get_libdir)/misc to libexec |
| 6 |
because that's already ABI-specified... but I'm not really sure. |
| 7 |
/usr/libexec is already used by many upstream packages, starting from FreeBSD |
| 8 |
itself, and while it's true that /usr/$(get_libdir)/misc is ABI safe, I don't |
| 9 |
really like thinking of moving executables in a subdirectory of lib for ABI's |
| 10 |
sake.. or we'll end up having /usr/$(get_libdir)/binaries instead |
| 11 |
of /usr/bin ... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So, as the documentation about that seems not to be clear, what's its status? |
