Hi,
I'm working on packaging Salome (The Open Source Integration Platform
for Numerical Simulation) [1], and the cmake scripts there install tons
of binaries and python scripts to the /usr/bin/salome folder. Is this
acceptable?
Thanks,

I believe a symbolic link should be acceptable. Actually creating a subdir
would probably have a lot of opposition, but it should be possible to
reconfigure salome to use %_libexecdir/salome or %_libdir/salome

Yeah reconfiguring
is not an issue, and if the symlink solution is
accepted I'd be happy. I'd just prefer not to break the install
hierarchy too much so that various documentation and stuff on the net
also applies to Fedora as far as possible.

<nod> Probably %{_libdir}/salome/REAL_FILES and
%{_bindir}/SYMLINKS_TO_REAL_FILES. If there is a concern that salome's
files will conflict with other things in %{_bindir} the symlinks probably
need to have a prefix like salome-SYMLINK.

No. /usr/bin is not supposed to carry subdirs.
Depending on what these files actually are (I don't know anything about
this package), installing them to %{_libexecdir} or %{libdir}/<package>
might be advisable.

IMHO, %{_libexecdir}/salome/ is the best place.
Absolutly - The %{_libexecdir} above was an oversight on my part. Sorry
for the confusion.
