Package: paraview
Version: 5.7.0-4+b2
Severity: normal
The paraview Plugins Manager (Tools->Manage Plugins) says it looks for
3rd party plugins in /usr/bin/plugins.
This does work (meshio-tools 4.0.4-1 provides a plugin there), but it
violates standard directory layout and triggers a lintian error
"subdir-in-usr-bin".
Unreleased docs at
https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/cxx/PluginHowto.html
report that recognised plugin paths also include
"A plugins subdirectory under the paraview-X.Y directory in the
library path",
i.e. in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/paraview-5.7/plugins/
(so it looks like the /usr/bin/plugins path problem might be fixed in
paraview 3.8)
There are 2 issues installing 3rd party plugins in that directory.
Firstly, a plugin might (perhaps) not be specific to a given paraview
version, in which case it would be unhelpful to have to specify the
5.7. A tidy generic path could be
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/paraview/plugins/
Possibly even just /usr/lib/paraview/plugins/
(similar to how python modules are handled for python3.7 and python3.8)
Secondly, not all plugins are binaries. Python scripts for instance.
For these a useful plugin path could be
/usr/share/paraview/plugins/
I'm not entirely certain if the versionless lib path
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/paraview/plugins/ (or
/usr/lib/paraview/plugins/) actually makes sense.
Perhaps compiled binary plugins are necessarily version-specific.
But an arch-independent path /usr/share/paraview/plugins could I think
be helpful, and probably worth pushing upstream.

Closes: 952390
Changes:
paraview (5.13.1+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload.
* configure PARAVIEW_PLUGIN_LOADER_PATHS to show
/usr/share/paraview/plugins (for arch/version-independent plugins)
and /usr/lib/*/paraview-*/plugins/ in the Plugin Manager.
Not clear why the latter do not already appear, see
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22642
* debian patch plugin_dir_not_bin.patch only adds $appDir/plugins
to the plugin search path if it exists. It should not exist
(appDir is the executable dir, /usr/bin). Closes: #952390.
* build with Qt6.
