Description Christopher Brannon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2010-12-15 22:23:18 UTC

The attached patch to the nmh ebuild causes helper programs to be installed
to /usr/lib/nmh.  These programs are usually called by other programs,
rather than from the command line.
This is why nmh installs them to libdir.
The advantage is that /usr/bin is no longer cluttered with helper programs.
The new package no longer conflicts with app-accessibility/speech-tools,
thereby closing bug 341741.
