Description Arun Raghavan 2008-04-14 20:00:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
xml2po modes are currently installed to /usr/share/...

This makes byte-compiling of the python files cause and FHS [1] violation. The files should go to /usr/lib/python-x.y/site-packages

patch to install xml2po modes to /usr/lib/python-x.y/site-packages

Just to clarify, the *.py{o|c} files created for byte-compiling these files will not cause an FHS violation if they are in /usr/lib.
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-05-24 13:06:19 UTC 
note that once this patch is in, you can probably remove the custom loading of submodules in xml2po itself.
