However, they are not in %{_libexecdir} but in %{_prefix}/lib. This > conforms to FHS and debian packaging guidelines but apparently not quite to > fedora's... Each project has its own way to handle files. And I don't agree with Debian all the time. > Would it be as simple as adding "mv %{_prefix}/lib %{_libexecdir}" somewhere? You can try and checkout to see if it works as its default behavior. Putting something in /usr/lib directly is the fault from upstream as they don't eithor respect the libdir parameter which could be defined during CMake or take into account of /lib64 on some OS, e.g Fedora, RHEL. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
