If you put it in /usr/lib/foo/ on 64bit machines, then I can see phasing out libexec, but as an upstream with some scripts but also binary helpers, I have consciously avoid the /usr/lib{64} usage and kept things in libexec. In fact, I moved some stuff from /usr/lib*/foo/ to libexec to get less headaches.
I don't see that libexec is actually giving us some kind of huge win to justify the inconveniences.
Sorry, what is the inconvenience of libexec? Paul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
