There's a hint here: bug #82043 comment #1. motaboy should have more infos, but unfortunately he is currently not active (we haven't seen him in a while). I think you can ask directly to the other kdebluetooth developers: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-pim/kdebluetooth/credits.html I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly that linked bug comment says. Does it say that he thinks lib is in fact the correct place for those files? Or something else entirely? Yes, he says that /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/ was chosen by kdebluetooth developers as the more appropriate path. Sent upstream to KDE: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109392 http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.pdf, Section 4.7 states that this is the correct place for local binaries which are not intended to be executed by users or scripts. Nothing to see here, we're done. |
There are 4 binary files that are located under the /usr/lib/ directory. This is quite strange and results into a confussion. Can anyone clarify the reasons? The affected binaries are the following: >>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/servers/kbemusedsrv >>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/servers/kbtobexsrv >>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/kbluepin >>> /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/auth-helper I'd say these files better fit under /usr/kdebluetooth/bin/ Comments?
