[jira] [Created] (BIGTOP-463) should we reconsider /usr/lib vs. /usr/libexec decision?

should we reconsider /usr/lib vs. /usr/libexec decision?
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BIGTOP-463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-463
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
            Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
            Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
             Fix For: 0.4.0


I keep running into issue where /usr/lib vs. /usr/libexec becomes a pain. In theory it is doing the right thing, but in practice it complicates maintenance and doesn't seem to give us any major benefits. Given that the only 2 packages that use /usr/lib vs. /usr/libexec are bigtop-utils and bigtop-jsvc, perhaps its not too late to reconsider and keep their content under /usr/lib/bigtop-utils ?

[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-463) should we reconsider /usr/lib vs. /usr/libexec decision?

Philip Zeyliger commented on BIGTOP-463:
----------------------------------------

Bigtop already deviates from distribution defaults in our defaults for chkconfig in certain places; I think that where it's not harmful, it'd be better to be consistent within bigtop rather than across.
