Hi,
I'm working on a couple of packages (gromacs and gromacs3) that are
going to use environment-modules since they have a lot of binaries that
otherwise would go to /usr/bin and some of them have very generic names
(e.g. wheel, luck and highway). This way a user can have both the new
release series and the old stable series installed and decide which
version to use.
What is the correct place to put these (architecture dependent)
binaries? Is it OK to use %{_libexecdir}/%{name} (or
%{name}-%{version}) ?
I would recommend %{_libexecdir}/%{name} which seems fairly common. Or
possibly %{_libexecdir}/%{name}-%{ABI} or %{name}-%{version}, but does
it really make sense to have multiple versions installed at the same
time ? Will that be a common scenario for gromacs users ?
As for finding the binaries, I would personally prefer to patch the code
to look for the binaries in the packaged directory rather than use
profile.d.
