[mt-daapd-devel] mt-daapd plugins directory location

[Ian B. <ian...@gm...>]

I am trying to package the mt-daapd nightly snapshots for Fedora.  I
ran into a snag with the location of the plugins directory.

The plugins directory really should be /usr/lib/mt-daapd/plugins
instead of /usr/shared/mt-daapd/plugins.  The reason is that the
plugins contain shared libraries which are architecture specific.
/usr/share is supposed to contain arch-independent files.  For x86_64,
the plugins should go in /usr/lib64/mt-daapd/plugins to keep them
separate from the i386 ones.

I am working on a patch for src/plugins/Makefile.am that changes
pkgdatadir to pkglibdir.

Attached is a patch which modifies src/plugins/Makefile.am to use
pkglibdir instead of pkgdatadir for the plugins location.  I also
modified contrib/Makefile.am and contrib/mt-daapd.conf.templ to use
sysconf for the mt-daapd.playlist and libdir for plugins.

Nicely done, sir.  That's been on my radar for a long time, but I've  
been to lazy to do it.  I'll apply.

Thanks.  Let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful  
from an upstream perspective.  Also, if you do get specfiles and  
whatnot done, I wouldn't mind seeing those as well so I can add FC  
packages to nightly builds.
