From kde-core-devel Wed Sep 26 09:42:07 2012 From: Jonathan Marten Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:42:07 +0000 To: kde-core-devel Subject: Re: Use of bin versus libexec Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=134865254630134 After a lot of discussion, is seems that there are some executables (as per Thiago's list) that can be moved out. For others (e.g. Akonadi) it is problematic because there is no standardization on the location for a "system-wide" libexec as per David's comments below, so they will have to stay unless a better solution can be found. I'm willing to do some work on those that can be moved, but would it be acceptable to do such changes (in trunk) at this stage - or would they have to wait for the next major release (i.e. "KDE 5")?
