Hello,
Are there any rules regarding changing the
path of binaries?
rpcbind/rpcinfo has lived in /usr/sbin for
years but that is because the spec file moves
the binary from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin during
the install. Upstream defaults to /usr/bin.
Due to some systemd service file changes
I would like to just leave rpcbind/rpcinfo
in /usr/bin which means the path of those
binaries would change.
It depends on whether you consider that file location to be "API" or not. Given
that upstream considers them to belong in /usr/bin, I'd guess that probably
there aren't any other packages relying on these executables living in that
location.
If there are, you might want to just move them and leave a symlink behind for
compatibility.
