> Actually, the FHS requires the same ;-) Right. Also, it's incorrect to call it "Linux" standard. The FHS is derived from the GNU Coding Standards, which is perhaps the oldest document describing a uniform layout & installation procedure (and yeah, the GNUstep layout doesn't comply with it either). The Linux kernel works fine with non-FHS setup, and Linux developers have no influence on the underlying layout at all, naturally. It is true that the most vocal group behind the FHS were people from various GNU/Linux distros, but there were folks from the BSD community, too (who insisted on libexecdir, IIRC). And Sun/SGI/IBM/etc staff as well. It's also a bit FUDdish to claim that Debian is the only distro insisting on FHS. Fedora/Red Hat has the same requirement, as well as all derivatives (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc). So is Mandriva and probably SuSE, if I'm not wrong. In fact, the FHS issues GNUstep had were precisely the reason why it was not packaged for Fedora until recently. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
