Can one of the admins verify this patch?

Still testing, but so far looks good. I assume this requires changing something in ostree/packaging/ostree.spec.in as well, but I am not sure how to test that. Edit: Tested and works fine for me. |

Hmm, this would break rpm-ostree at least which assumes that it can create So it seems like it's easier to make it |
Correct.

Why not to use libexecdir?
Because this directory does not exist on some distros or paths
between distros varies. There are several reasons why a well
known path is prefered, for example when generating a kernel
command line:
init=${ostree}/usr/lib/ostree-boot/ostree-prepare-root
In addition this saves us some typing in a console when wanting
to access the "ostree" cmd line.

The "ostree-boot" directory is for boot related files. Therefore is
a more appropriate place for ostree-{prepare-root,remount,grub-generator}
executibles and in addition saves us some typing in a console
when wanting to access the "ostree" cmd line.
Why not to use libexecdir instead? Because this directory does not
exist on some distros or paths between distros varies. There are several
reasons why a well known path is prefered (for example when passing
init=${ostree}/usr/lib/ostree-boot/ostree-prepare-root via kernel
command line).
