I'm currently reviewing VirtualGL:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834127
It installs a number of libraries that get used with LD_PRELOAD via a
wrapper script. While it is convenient to place them in %{_libdir} so that
you don't have to specify the full path in LD_PRELOAD, it seems to me that
they shouldn't be in %{_libdir} but in %{_libdir}/VirtualGL and then specify
the full path in LD_PRELOAD.
Any dissenting opinions?
I'd prefer to see them under %{_libdir}/VirtualGL and deal with any
required changes. It just feels cleaner.
Anyway, these are my 2 cents,
