Description Deathwing00 2005-07-20 17:10:36 UTC
Version:           kdebluetooth-0.99_beta1-r1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    0Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.4.4 glibc-2.3.5-r0
OS:                Linux

There are 4 binary files that are located under the /usr/lib/ directory. This is quite strange and results into a confussion. Can anyone clarify the reasons?

The affected binaries are the following:

>>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/servers/kbemusedsrv
>>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/servers/kbtobexsrv
>>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/kbluepin
>>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/auth-helper

I'd say these files better fit under /usr/kdebluetooth/bin/

If you do not plan to change this, please let us know so that we can have gentoo ebuilds move these files to the correct location.

/usr/lib/kdebluetooth is the most appropriate location according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. If you disagree or if you know a reason for moving the files other than for the look of it, let me know. Otherwise I'll consider this a packaging issue and close the bug report.
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2005-07-20 17:53:37 UTC
I suggest so too. Just because gentoo doesn't care about the FHS, doesn't mean KDE has to ignore it too. The FHS allows a pretty limited list of directory below /usr and /usr/lib/<projname> is there for internal binaries
Comment 3 Douglas Russell 2005-07-20 18:05:55 UTC
You're both right of course. More close studying of FHS required for us. Apologies on time wasted replying to this bug.
Comment 4 Fred Schättgen 2005-07-20 18:09:39 UTC
You're welcome.
Comment 5 Deathwing00 2005-07-20 18:10:43 UTC
Agreed. Thank you for that.
