correct location for gcc wrappers?
Hello,
I am the maintainer of the compilercache package.
For details see the package documentation or
http://www.erikyyy.de/compilercache/
The package provides scripts called cc, gcc, ...
which try to do something useful and then
call the real compiler to do most of the work.
My question is: where should these wrappers be
installed? I searched the FHS but did not find
a clear answer.
* /usr/bin/ is clearly not possible, because
this is the place where the real compilers
live, and the filenames have to be equal.
* /usr/bin/compilercache/ comes to mind.
But the only subdirectories under /usr/bin
seem to be /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/bin/mh.
So I hesitate to create a directory there.
* /usr/lib/compilercache/ is the place which
the current package uses. I chose this because
creating subdirectories under /usr/lib is
explicitly allowed by the FHS. But then, to use
compilercache you have to add
/usr/lib/compilercache/ to your PATH and
it feels strange to a /usr/lib subdirectory
in your PATH.
So, what do you think?
Jochen
