These files appear to be architecture independent, and are plain text (indeed, they are build scripts for the GNU linker). /lib is allowed to contain: o object files, o libraries, o internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. o subdirectories with architecture-dependent data exclusively used an application The correct place for these files is /usr/share or /usr/src: [/usr/share] "The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files." [/usr/src] "Any non-local source code should be placed in this subdirectory." I'd suggest /usr/share as best; while they are source code, they're pretty small snippets of it. I suggest putting them all in a common directory like "/usr/share/mklibs", "/usr/share/ldmaps", "/usr/share/picmap", etc. mklibs would, of course, need to be modified to look in the new location. - -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux bohr 2.4.16 #2 SMP Wed Nov 28 05:25:00 EST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+F14x+z+IwlXqWf4RAsbdAJ4gpGtI5jz9v0rKFD2UWN+/eWRlUwCcDBRi iUIlYN/ow1Vltz5fUK0VyCw= =FoNo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------- Received: (at 175353-done) by bugs.debian.org; 11 May 2003 21:33:32 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun May 11 16:33:29 2003 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from mta02-svc.ntlworld.com [62.253.162.42] by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.12 1 (Debian)) id 19EyRl-0001AT-00; Sun, 11 May 2003 16:33:29 -0500 Received: from kc.cam.armlinux.org ([81.96.69.239]) by mta02-svc.ntlworld.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.37 201-229-121-137-20020806) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 11 May 2003 22:33:28 +0100 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]) by kc.cam.armlinux.org with esmtp (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian)) id 19EyRk-0001fI-00 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 11 May 2003 22:33:28 +0100 Subject: Re: *-pic packages violate FHS From: Philip Blundell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.3.1 (Preview Release) Date: 11 May 2003 22:33:27 +0100 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-7.3 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_10,USER_AGENT_XIMIAN version=2.53-bugs.debian.org_2003_05_09 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.53-bugs.debian.org_2003_05_09 (1.174.2.15-2003-03-30-exp) I don't think there is any bug here. The *_pic.map files are in fact architecture-dependent, since they form part of the exported library ABI. I'm closing this report. p.
