#47514 FHS Opt layout: admin scripts look for common library at different place than it is installed
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by mreynolds. Opened 10 years ago by mvocu.

When using FHS Opt layout, package 389-ds-base installs common script library DSSharedLib at different place than the scripts using it expect:

In scripts, the library is included by this command (see eg. bak2db.in):

source @datadir@/@package_name@/data/DSSharedLib

In configure script, the datadir is defined as follows:

datadir='${datarootdir}'
datarootdir='${prefix}/share'

The resulting path is then (using prefix /opt/dirsrv):

/opt/dirsrv/share/dirsv/data/DSSharedLib

On the other hand, Makefile.am installs DSSharedLib into

sampledatadir = $(datadir)@sampledatadir@

where @sampledatadir@ is defined by configure.in for fhs-opt as:
sampledatadir=/data

The resulting path then is (with /opt/dirsrv prefix):

/opt/dirsrv/share/data/DSSharedLib


FHS Opt layout is not our first-tier layout.

Note: Your patches are always welcome.
