Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-2806: ---------------------------------------- Agree with that in principle, although I never install globally personally. Switching fix version to 11.2 - not something I think we can change at this stage of the release cycle. > Consider using `/opt/` path by default for installer > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-2806 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2806 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 11.1 > Reporter: Ulf Zibis > Priority: Major > Fix For: 11.1 > > > The recent installer uses `/usr/local/` by default, when installing under > root. > In my understanding, this path is reserved for software which overrides > existing versions from the official distribution. > Wouldn't it not be better to use the `/opt/` path by default.
