The Debian world sets libexecdir to ${exec_prefix}/lib, and the Red Hat world uses ${exec_prefix}/libexec. The FHS says either are fine. Nobody puts the package name into the definition of libexecdir. I've a WIP branch that solves this but there will be fallout so we should merge it sooner rather than later. 47057 1 ross.burton 2014-11-17 18:24:14 +0000 I have a patch and am testing now. 51408 2 srifenbark 2015-06-01 23:04:28 +0000 Hi, Right now I have a section http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.9/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#qa-errors-and-warnings that states: By default, libexecdir is set to "${libdir}/${BPN}" rather than to "/usr/libexec". I am assuming that any solution to this bug will change that? I think that is the only area in the YP doc set affected. Scott 51418 3 ross.burton 2015-06-02 07:52:37 +0000 Scott: yes, that's probably the only place (and the release notes) in the docs that's relevant. 58233 4 ross.burton 2016-01-26 14:21:26 +0000 Merged in oe-core e7270e331560546d3805cd66ed14afcbc96b6d89. 58285 5 srifenbark 2016-01-27 23:41:58 +0000 Ross, What is the fallout for that error message? How does it change. See the link below to see what that error message says in the doc right now. I don't know how to change it regarding your fix. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#qa-errors-and-warnings Thanks, Scott 58293 6 ross.burton 2016-01-28 11:13:33 +0000 That section needs to be something more like: The specified package contains files in /usr/libexec when the distro configuration uses a different path for <libexecdir>. By default libexecdir is $prefix/libexec but this can be changed, for example to ${libdir}. We also need the change of $libexecdir from $libdir/$BPN to $prefix/libexec added to the release notes. 58477 7 srifenbark 2016-02-03 02:00:40 +0000 Ross, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#qa-errors-and-warnings and tell me if we are good on this description. Regarding the release notes... Probably need to notify Paul Eggleton about this. He is good at keeping a list of such things that get passed to Beth when the release notes are put down. Once we get the doc changes approved, I can set the doc flag to "done"... or you can. Scott 58513 8 ross.burton 2016-02-03 17:30:50 +0000 The revision looks good, marking as done. Thanks Scott! 58636 9 costin.c.constantin 2016-02-05 11:12:40 +0000 Hello, Verified on latest master: b33e440cc6fbd703e8045d94b806790343e72eb6 To verify: 1) bitbake mc 2) check in the resulting .rpm file for /usr/libexec dir. rpm2cpio mc-4.8.15-r0.core2_64.rpm | cpio -iv | grep libexec
