I agree. I tried to put the sample executables in
/usr/share/ortools/examples, but since there are executable files they
are not welcome here. Moreover the sample names are very generic so I
would like to move them out of /usr/bin in order to avoid $PATH pollution.
Do you know where I can place these executable files in the Debian package?
Thanks,
Agathe.
