Splitting in /usr/lib/<arch> and /usr/share



Hi,

I am packaging some older software (eso-midas, [1]) that installs
everything into a common directory (f.e. /usr/lib/eso-midas/). However,
the FHS requires that this should be split between /usr/share/ and
/usr/lib/<arch>/. In the majority of cases, this could be done
automatically by recognizing the type with the "file" command: object
files, libs etc. go to /usr/lib/<arch>/eso-midas/, all text and data
files to /usr/share/eso-midas (with a link to
/usr/lib/<arch>/eso-midas).

Is there already a little helper script that does this for me?

Best

Ole
