0009458: Problem with installing of assistant for Fedora packages
I build the paraview packages for Fedora, and am running into trouble with the way paraview handles installing "assistant". We use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr so binaries go into /usr/bin. With this, paraview wants to install a copy of "assistant_adp" from the build as /usr/bin/assistant, which is a no go because it conflicts. Also, we end up with a broken link: /usr/lib/paraview/assistant-real -> ../../../bin/assistant_adp, some kind of relative path location calculation is wrong here.

Currently, I'm resorting to patching the source to run /usr/bin/assistant_adp directly. It would be nice to have some kind of "use system assistant_adp" option.
No tags attached.

Also, we really need pqClient.adp to go into /usr/share/paraview, but this takes a patch at the moment as well.

This appears to be fixed in 3.8.1.

Agreed, Now that we don't use assistant this is a non-issue.
