I maintain a package which comes with some benchmarking tools. I
would like to package these, but they have very generic names like
"boot-benchmark", "analysis". Also the tools are very specialized --
you would only want them if you already know you need them.
I wonder if people have opinions on the best way to package these. It
seems to me the options are:
(1) Put them in %{_bindir} as they are. Likely a bad idea.
(2) Put them in some other binary directory. Not sure which though,
maybe %{_libdir}/%{name}/ ?
(3) Rename them and put them in %{_bindir}. This is technically
difficult, because the binaries have manual pages which would all have
to be patched to refer to the new names.
