So what ?
Are their any less libraries than jar files ? lisp packages ?
All those end up in /usr/share in Fedora now, as the FHS demands
The "it's code, therefore it shouldn't go in /usr/share" argument is
bogus. We have a ton of code in /usr/share, both shared and app-specific
OK, so if we put everything in %{_datadir}/%{name}, the following
questions arise:
1. Does this work? Or do the apps stop working?
2. Can we still put the .so files in %{_libdir}/%{name}, symlink them
back to %{_datadir}/%{name}? Does this work? Or do the apps stop
working?
