Resolves: bug 227618
Bug Description: FHS: move exes to _bindir; move ns-slapd to _sbindir
Reviewed by: ???
Files: see diff
Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: In order to be more FHS compliant, we need to make the following changes: 1) move files executable by end users to _bindir (e.g. /usr/bin) - this means logconv.pl, ds_newinst, dbscan, etc.
2) move the server executable ns-slapd to _sbindir (e.g. /usr/sbin)
And, to be more packaging friendly, the additional changes:
3) move libback-ldbm to the plugins dir - it is a plugin
4) use the libtool -avoid-version flag with plugins - we don't need the .so.0.0.0 for plugins I had to add support for sbindir and SBINDIR to create_instance and ds_newinst. We were using serverdir for 3 things - command line programs, server specific shared libs, and the server executable itself. These are now in 3 different places. The biggest change was to the scripts. I kept serverdir and SERVER-DIR to be the location of the server shared libs to avoid changing even more stuff. I had to add SERVERBIN-DIR to the scripts - this is the location of ns-slapd and is set by sbindir in create_instance (which defaults to SBINDIR from Makefile.am which defaults to $prefix/sbin in configure - whew). I've tested instance creation with these diffs - everything seems to work fine.
Platforms tested: RHEL4, FC6
Flag Day: no
Doc impact: Yes, but the docs will have to change quite a bit for all of the FHS related changes.
