I agree in principle too, but the following is really ugly:
/usr/lib64/cluster-glue/plugins/test/test.so
/usr/lib64/heartbeat/base64_md5_test
/usr/share/cluster-glue/lrmtest
/usr/lib64/heartbeat/lrmd
/usr/lib64/heartbeat/ha_logd
Don't care about names, it's just that we should use either one
or the other and not both. Moving lrmd would break pacemaker. In
general, moving things could possibly break some software
developed elsewhere. I'd prefer not to cause other users
headache, I think they had enough of chasing moving targets
produced by us.
So, let's choose one or the other and move finally on, we've
really got better things to do, and ask Andrew to change the
pacemaker sources (which would make our package incompatible with
pacemaker <= 1.0.6, but oh well, not the first time we break
things).
Thanks,
