+The installation directories are controlled by $prefix, $exec_prefix
+$sysconfdir and $libdir-name. Documentation, development files are
+installed below $prefix, binaries are installed below $exec_prefix,
+libraries below $exec_prefix/$libdir-name.
+
+The default configuration for a RPM spec file may look like:
+  --prefix=%{_prefix}
+  --exec-prefix=""
+  --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}
+  --with-libdir-name=%{_lib}
+
+The well defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
+from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures, anything
+else is broken. Other packages who use udev, may use the /lib/udev/
+directory to install their rule helper and udev rule files.
+
+It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place
+device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/
+at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be
+detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the
+pre-existing device node, will be available.
+
+Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules are required
+by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the
+devices, and should therefore be installed by default with every udev
+installation.
