Please contact the upstream developer about this.
Why do you claim that it is *my* duty to contact upstream of *your* package about the QA violations *you* introduced by committing it without ensuring proper quality in the first place?
QA violation is a strong way to put it. I asked you to report it because I don't care to argue with upstream about it.
We have a policy about filesystem layout: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/filesystem/index.html So I would consider this a QA issue as well. These files should be moved to /usr/lib* or /usr/share.
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #4) Please feel free to do so; just fix the reverse deps.
According to this FreeBSD man page, they install their test suite in /usr/tests. This is probably why dev-util/atf and dev-util/kyua chose that location to install stuff. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tests&apropos=0&sektion=7&manpath=FreeBSD+11.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html Please consider adding /usr/tests to the semi-arbitrary list of valid paths in the devmanual.
Might as well add /usr/src while you are at it, since all kernel packages install files there.
Let's not forget about /mgorny because I just arbitrarily want it. If you really insist, I can even write a package that purposely installs files there to prove the point.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #8) > Let's not forget about /mgorny because I just arbitrarily want it. If you > really insist, I can even write a package that purposely installs files > there to prove the point. My point is that /usr/tests has precedent on nother POSIX-compatible OS.
So has /usr/man. Yet we install manpages into /usr/share/man consistently.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #10) /usr/share/tests is not commonly used anywhere, so far as I can tell. Why reinvent the wheel?
NetBSD also uses /usr/tests. http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?tests+7+NetBSD-current

FreeBSD 10.1 was released in November 2014, long after the FHS was established. > Please consider adding /usr/tests to the semi-arbitrary list of valid paths > in the devmanual. IMHO we should avoid adding new subtrees that are both against our existing policy and against FHS. Especially, when there are obvious alternatives (like /usr/share or /usr/lib*).
Ok, please tell me where to put the files and I will move them.
