Package: libslang2
Version: 2.0.4-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I am thinking about packaging a module for SLang2. The obvious question
is in which directory the *.so module must be installed. The current
libslang2 package looks for modules in /lib/slang/v2/modules. This is
actually not a good place for putting modules, because it somewhow
violates the FHS (see
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE11):
/lib : Essential shared libraries and kernel modules
Purpose
The /lib directory contains those shared library images needed to boot
the system and run the commands in the root filesystem, ie. by binaries
in /bin and /sbin.
A better place for the the modules would be /usr/lib/slang/v2/modules.
The simple-minded patch attached below contains the necessary changes in
debian/rules to accomplish this.
With this patch, you may also consider running "make -C modules install"
and get all the modules provided in the tarball (fcntl, pcre, png,
select, slsmg, termios, and varray) installed in the system. In this
case, a new package named, say, slang2-modules could be created.
