Currently, the following items wind up in libdir when INN is
installed:
docheckgroups
innreport_inn.pm
innshellvars
innshellvars.pl
innshellvars.tcl
libinn.a
libstorage.a
I was pondering what to do with these files in terms of FHS
compliancy. The conclusion I reached is that I think only libinn.a
and libstorage.a truly belong in libdir, regardless of whether the
--enable-fhs-dirs option is given:
docheckgroups is a program meant to be manually invoked by the
news user; it should be in BINDIR.
innreport_inn.pm is (essentially) a configuration file; it should
be in ETCDIR.
The innshellvars* files are also (essentially) configuration
files; they should all be in ETCDIR.
Does anyone disagree?
If not, I will fold the changes necessary to make the above
relocations into my FHS patch.
