hi, all: We have now install plugins into libexecdir, which is recommend for used for executable files in most distributions, such as fedora: lib/ contains object files and libraries that are not designed to be directly utilized by users or shell scripts. The libexec/ directory contains small helper programs called by other programsI'd like to change the default plugin dir to libdir, that is: 1, remove 'Makefile.am:pkglibdir = ${pkglibexecdir}' line from plugins and example Makefile.am. 2, change proxy.config.plugin.plugin_dir to pkglibdir. any comments?
To me that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's just IMHO :). To me, /lib should be libraries that other application links with, and clearly our plugins (.so's) do not fall into this category. I'm open to suggestions other than libexec though if there is some better / more standard place for this (e.g. httpd puts them in $prefix/modules it seems).
