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?
I'm in agreement - though some demos/examples actually are functional,
if they are only intended to be demos/examples they should (imho) be
in /usr/share/doc/
That's traditionally where I have found them (IE gst-python demos - some
of which are useful as stand alone)
