</I>>>>><i>

</I>
Well some packages override this e.g.:
<A HREF="http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=systemd.git;a=blob;f=systemd.spec;hb=HEAD#l164">http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=systemd.git;a=blob;f=systemd.spec;hb=HEAD#l164</A>
Maybe worth asking Kay about that in #systemd to see if there is an
argument against using /usr/libexec more generally?
><i> In that case, I'd say /usr/libexec to keep /usr/lib as arch clean as
</I>><i> possible...
</I>
Assuming we're not missing something, yes, I agree.
><i> And I guess we will catch any name conflicts when we start full rebuild...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> speaking of that btw... anything missing for that, or should we plan &

</I>
I think all the things I wanted to do before the rebuild are in place so
I'm certainly fine with it.
