I believe noweb was installed with lyx-1.2.0. It appears that its ebuild is 100%. My /usr/lib directory has several executables owned by the noweb package including: mfenner [550] % qpkg -f /usr/lib/toascii app-text/noweb * bacon:/usr/lib mfenner [551] % qpkg -f /usr/lib/tohtml app-text/noweb * bacon:/usr/lib mfenner [552] % qpkg -f /usr/lib/toroff app-text/noweb * as well as several others. This is primarily an aesthetic concern but we should keep things neat. Regards, Mark Fenner
Hm. The noweb makefiles explicitly put some executables in $PREFIX/bin and others in $PREFIX/lib. Therefore we should ask ourselves: 1) why? or: what's the distinction? 2) what'll happen if we put everything in $PREFIX/bin? As to (1) the developers should be asked. I'll do that. As to (2) we should test it. Only I don't use noweb myself, if you do I'd appreciate testing. Otherwise I'll have to look for a test file. Anyway I'll "investigate" :-)
Quoting from the FHS: --- 4.7 /usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages 4.7.1 Purpose /usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. --- So this is legal, since they are presumably internal libraries.
I meant internal binaries, of course.
...Therefore I'm closing this, the situation is fhs-compliant and correct though rather ugly.
