# The RPM lays everything out under usr/{bin,lib64,libexec,share}.
# The bundled shared libs live under usr/lib64/dcvviewer/ (a private
# subdir, no collision with system libs) and the native binary lives
# under usr/libexec/dcvviewer/dcvviewer. The usr/bin/dcvviewer
# wrapper references libexec and the private lib64 subdir, so the
# cleanest install is to preserve the RPM's natural layout under /.
#
# We copy with cp -a (not doins/doexe) because the tree contains:
# - symlinks to versioned .so files
# - usr/lib/.build-id/** symlinks into ../../../libexec and lib64
# - subdirs with executable Python/shell helpers
# doins and doexe trigger die on these edge cases in EAPI 8.
