I agree. Consider RHEL/CentOS where you can simultanneously install both .i686 and .x86_64 versions of one package. The packages are allowed to have overlapping files, if these files don't differ.
If one puts script libraries to $libdir/<subdir>, CentOS will have duplicate files in /lib/<subdir> and /lib64/<subdir>, but in case of $datadir there will be only one /usr/share/<subpackage> On 02.03.2017 06:52, Russ Allbery wrote: > Ralf Corsepius <rc040...@freenet.de> writes: > >> $libdir/<subdir>/ (e.g. %libdir/<package>) is the playground a package can >> install more or less whatever it wants, comprising executables. >> As your "scripts" don't seem to be "programs", $libdir/<subdir> probably >> is what you are looking for. > $datadir/<subdir>, no?
