Hi,
I am preparing a package for submission to Fedora.US/Fedora Extras. This
package comes with a couple of demo applications I plan to put into a
separate sub-package.
Where to install these applications to on FC?
What do Fedora conventions recommend?
IMO, they should not be installed to bindir (/usr/bin), because these
applications are "not really useful".
Installing them to datadir (/usr/share) or pkgdatadir
(/usr/share/<package>) also does not seem appropriate, because these
files are architecture dependent.
Remains $libexecdir/<package>.

When you separate out the demos into a subpackage, I think it is OK to
put the binaries into /usr/bin, because in this case the package would
only be installed by those people interested in the demos, and can
easily be removed afterwards.
