Hi,

I am preparing a package for submission to Fedora.US/Fedora Extras. This
package comes with a couple of demo applications I plan to put into a
separate sub-package.

Where to install these applications to on FC?
What do Fedora conventions recommend?

IMO, they should not be installed to bindir (/usr/bin), because these
applications are "not really useful".

Installing them to datadir (/usr/share) or pkgdatadir
(/usr/share/<package>) also does not seem appropriate, because these
files are architecture dependent.

Remains $libexecdir/<package>.
