Debug python file in `/usr/lib`

Description:

The package has a debug python file located at /usr/lib/libginkgo.so.1.9.0-gdb.py. Seems it should live in /usr/lib/ginkgo-hpc instead.

Also, python may be added to optdepends.

Additional info:

• package version(s): 1.9.0-1

added priority3-normal severity4-low statusunconfirmed labels

assigned to @freswa, @lahwaacz, @toolybird, and @gromit

Thanks for the report... but that's where upstream (apparently) wants to install it.. please see here and here. Therefore have you contacted upstream? There's more discussion in the original pull request. I haven't looked too deeply, but simply moving it in the PKGBUILD might break the functionality.

Also, python may be added to optdepends.

For a single gdb .py helper? Overall, both points raised seem pretty minor.. and maybe not worth the bother.

Therefore have you contacted upstream?

Have not. TBH I'm not an FHS expert and I'm not sure where is the correct location of the debug helper script.

but simply moving it in the PKGBUILD might break the functionality.

Should not. It is just a gdb helper which can be sourceed in gdb regardless of its location.

You are right...

After all, feel free to close the issue if you (or PM) have no interest on it :)

The upstream pull request mentions auto-load safe-path, but /usr/lib/ is not there by default on Arch Linux. I'll consider moving the script to /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/ instead.
