From 1acccc862a85ec7aeacc4598957fecd66b203850 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Claessens Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 17:19:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Recommend tags for libraries utilities GLib installs a few executables that are not needed by applications that use the glib libraries, but are used either by build systems or by user scripts. Debian splits them into libglib2.0-dev-bin and libglib2.0-bin packages. Another example is GStreamer tools (e.g. gst-launch-1.0) that Debian packages separately in gstreamer1.0-tools. It is common enough that Meson documentation should recommend a tag for consistency across projects. --- docs/markdown/Installing.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/markdown/Installing.md b/docs/markdown/Installing.md index 2ad341715..59cd8137d 100644 --- a/docs/markdown/Installing.md +++ b/docs/markdown/Installing.md @@ -176,6 +176,12 @@ time, please help extending the list of well known categories. * Files installed into `localedir`. - `typelib`: * `gnome.generate_gir()` - `.typelib` file. +- `bin`: + * Scripts and executables bundled with a library meant to be used by end + users. +- `bin-devel`: + * Scripts and executables bundled with a library meant to be used by + developers (i.e. build tools).
