[csw-maintainers] Shared library placement proposal

[Ben Walton]

Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Fri Feb 11 12:45:30 -0500 2011:

> "Motion for policy:
>  In cases where it has been determined that it is neccessary for a

> the program should be compiled as such, and installed as such, with

> warranted, into the subprefix.

Nack.

You've spent all this time telling Maciej that his language is too
explicit because it forces the opposite of your preference and then
you come out with the same thing but based on your preference instead?
Motion denied.

The language specifying location of actual files vs symlinks must be
neutral or I'll not support it.

Thanks
