One thing I'd like to throw out on the table is the possibility to get a symlink from /usr/local pointing to /opt/whatever so that open source software would by default place the target in the proper location. This seems like it could be a win-win for most folks, so that we can keep the binaries on /opt, yet allow folks to centralize the open source code. And, yes I realize that there's the possibility that someone could overwrite and place something in /opt/whatever that could cause a conflict, but they should know what they're doing in that case, or not be building software. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering
