I'm currently massaging out packaging details for a particular game server, and I'm not completely clear where I should place the ELF binaries. The server will be started via a customisable initialisation script and should not be manually started.
The script to start the server by hand will go in /usr/bin/, and can also be started automatically at runlevel. I would like to place the ELF binaries under /usr/lib/<package> I've read through the packaging manual, and might be a little confused, but it didn't seem quite clear on just where to put these. If /usr/lib/<package> isn't the right place, where is? They need to be somewhere not on PATH and under a subdir. Also, I will be packaging up a minimal game dataset for the server, and I want to have a script the admin can use to copy it somewhere under /usr/local/games and customise it. Where should I install the sample dataset? The manual seems to indicate /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples, but that doesn't seem right to me in this case. My gut feeling is /usr/lib/<package>/<base dataset> because it isn't meant to be used before customisation. -- Ferret no baka
