Hi, I am preparing FRR so that it could be added to Fedora and since there are a lot of experienced packagers here, I would like to ask for an advice. FRR is a fork of quagga and it provides a couple of routing daemons(bgp, isis, odpf, rip, eigrp etc.). Originally in quagga, each daemon had its own binary in /usr/sbin and each daemon could be started via systemctl(including the zebra daemon which is needed to run other routing daemons). In FRR the developers have chosen a different approach. They provide a script that takes care of the start-up of all requested daemons - that means that all daemons are started via a single systemctl command. There are a couple of other scripts that are used for reloading the daemons etc. I am now wondering about where to place all relevant binary files and all the scripts. The upstream idea about the location is to put all binary files and all the scripts to /usr/lib/frr/ which does not make much sense to me. My first idea was to keep the main script in /usr/sbin and put the rest to /usr/libexec, but that would only make sense if the binaries and scripts were not meant to be run by the user, which is not the case. It is very well possible to start each daemon directly without interfering with systemd or any of the scripts. Same applies for each of the script. So the question is whether it is acceptable to keep the scripts in the /usr/sbin directory together with the binaries or whether I should put them somewhere else? I would be grateful for any ideas about this. Thanks.
