There are many programs that are not Unix or Linux specific. None the less when installed or packaged for Linux distribution they are done so per FHS. But this could be beneficial on other platforms as well. Even Windows separates, the OS, from Programs, from the Users stuff. Thus having things go different places is nothing new. The the FACT that perl originated on Unix and was only later ported to other platforms. Which really these days there is just Windows and Unix based operating systems, really nothing in between. OS X is Unix based, so most anything people are running is either Unix based or Windows. Perl has never been native on Window as it is Unix. "Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl So again ASSP being in Perl, a language dthat was developed for Unix purpose.... Perl didn't even support Windows till 5.004 and it was done buy 3rd parties, ActiveState and also not Strawberry. Not from say perl.org. http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5004delta.html Very interesting argument about Perl being for all platforms. Maybe your confusing Java with Perl. If you recall Sun sued Microsoft over Java. There was never such with Perl, nor was Perl ever installed in Windows by default. I do not think you can find many if any Unix based operating systems that do not have perl natively installed and available. "Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,[13] and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA),[14] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.[" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language) Perl was never developed as a cross platform programming language. It was so widely used on Unix, it was ported to Windows. Again by people outside the main perl project. You cannot get perl for Windows from perl.org. > >Gentoo since ~November 2006. > > This may work with V1 - but never with V2. It has been working fine with V2 for sometime. I have been running V2 for a bit over a year. I used the exact same package, most of the same sed, etc. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/tree/master/mail-filter/assp Seriously if you think changing paths effects a program not sure what to tell you. Long as ASSP knows where the stuff is at, be it in one directory or split up. It works just the same. Try it yourself... Fritz I believe was going to make the paths configurable. Go dig in the archives and you will see discussion. No other maintainer has ever objected to splitting up ASSP when packaged. -- William L.
