Well, I'm talking about the FHS specifically, as the Debian maintainer of the GNUstep libraries, because the FHS is what Debian cares about. Personally, I don't care much about what GNUstep does on Windows or other UNIX-like systems, although I do agree that it is a valuable discussion. I'm just not going to be able to provide much useful discussion on other systems, since it's not my area. > PS: FHS doesn't specify ~bin/~lib etc because FHS is concerned about > system packages, not on user customizations. And system packages never > install into ~. Well, at least thats how I understand it :-) True enough. My main concern, though, is that since the FHS doesn't define those directories, users might get upset if we start creating random directories in ~. -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
