Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Where to install examples to?: msg#00088

Subject:	Where to install examples to?

Hi,

I am observing packages in FE installing examples/demos to /usr/bin.

Do people agree upon this to be good packaging practice or not?

IMO, it is not, because
* This gradually fills up /usr/bin.
* Many such examples/demos are semi-functional or less and have never
been designed to be used by the public.

I'd recommend to install examples/demos to either
/usr/lib/<package>/
or even to
/usr/share/doc/<package>

Opinions, comments?

Ralf
