Hi, I'm reviewing osc and osc-source_validators (osc is Opensuse Build Service CLI, the latter a plugin to the former). An issue arose about helpers script location: 1) Fedora packaging guidelines suggests helpers *should go* /usr/libexec for helpers ==> requires patching since osc search helpers in /usr/lib since it's not in FHS, it's almost certain that a patch won't be upstream-able 2) FHS explicitely allows shell scripts in /usr/lib 3) FHS doesn't forbid putting them in /usr/share as helpers could be considered as "arch independent data" There are recent packages that choose options 2 && 3 (namely, systemd and dracut). According to me, guidelines doesn't enforce any of these options, and choice is left to packager/reviewer appreciation, though you may distinguish an order of precedence. So, what's the take of my fellow packagers on that particular matter ? Best regards, H. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
