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.
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
You're both right of course. More close studying of FHS required for us. Apologies on time wasted replying to this bug.
You're welcome.
Agreed. Thank you for that.
