For sure I would keep the compiled binary if it makes sense. Otherwise
if the source would be usefull for the end user I would rather move it
to some place like
/usr/share/doc/ensembl/examples/<some-reasonable-name>/*.[ch]
to teach users about the chance to do usefull stuff with C code.
For a quick check I did a
find . -name "*.cpp" | grep -v "/doc/"
and found some hits. About 50% are from ensembl and I'd regard these
files in this location as pretty useless for the user. IMHO anything
which is residing in directories named "/src/" inside the source tree
should not make its way into the binary package (at least not in the way
it is done now).
Kind regards
Andreas.
