I've been thinking about writing a program to test out format strings,
because the existing tools aren't quite good enough. Also, maybe it will
inspire some people to do some of the format programming themselves :-)
But I have a dumb question: where should this program be installed?
The current tools, "ap", "dp", and "fmtdump", all live in $(libdir). I
understand doing this for backend programs designed to be called by other
programs, like post & mhl. But I never understood why those programs
were installed there. Should this hypothetical test program be installed
in $(libdir), or should it be installed in $(bindir) like all of the other
nmh user-level executables?
i have no problem moving them. i checked on ubuntu (using
/usr/lib/command-not-found) and surprisingly, dp is the only one with
a name collision. (wouldn't you think all the two character names
would be gone by now?) so we should probably at least consider a
rename for that.
$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- dp
The program 'dp' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install speech-tools
$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- ap
ap: command not found
$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- fmtdump
No command 'fmtdump' found, did you mean:
Command 'mtdump' from package 'simh' (universe)
Command 'fdtdump' from package 'device-tree-compiler' (main)
Command 'ftdump' from package 'freetype2-demos' (universe)
fmtdump: command not found
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l
