After reading the entire 22 messages in the thread, I agree that these executables should not be in /usr/sbin. I believe the consensus is /usr/lib/packagename. A quick check of BLFS shows 40 packages that use the --libexecdir switch. Lets update these in SVN as time permits. I'll put in a bugzilla entry. -- Bruce $ grep -R -- --libexec *| grep -v svn|grep -v \~|cut -f1 -d:|uniq basicnet/netprogs/inetutils.xml basicnet/textweb/w3m.xml general/sysutils/cpio.xml general/sysutils/hal.xml general/genlib/gamin.xml general/prog/gcc.xml general/prog/librep.xml general/genutils/xscreensaver.xml gnome/add/nautilus-media.xml gnome/add/gnome-netstatus.xml gnome/add/ggv.xml gnome/add/gnopernicus.xml gnome/add/gdm.xml gnome/add/gpdf.xml gnome/add/evolution-data-server.xml gnome/add/gnome-utils.xml gnome/add/gnome-media.xml gnome/add/nautilus-cd-burner.xml gnome/add/at-spi.xml gnome/add/gtkhtml.xml gnome/core/libgnomeui.xml gnome/core/gconf.xml gnome/core/gnome-applets.xml gnome/core/control-center.xml gnome/core/vte.xml gnome/core/gnome-vfs.xml gnome/core/gnome-panel.xml gnome/core/libbonobo.xml gnome/core/gnome-keyring.xml postlfs/security/gnupg.xml postlfs/security/heimdal.xml postlfs/editors/emacs.xml pst/printing/lprng.xml server/other/openldap.xml server/mail/courier.xml server/databases/mysql.xml server/major/openssh.xml x/wm/sawfish.xml x/wm/metacity.xml xsoft/office/evolution.xml -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
