Hi,
In general, it is more or less irrelevant whether we like the FHS or
not. As long as GNUstep works with this layout, and Nicola was kind
enough to implement the revolutionary changes in gnustep-make 2.x
(which made our lives significantly easier), what the default layout
is doesn't matter (at least for distro maintainers, that is).
I think this is a strong statement: it means it is good for us to
support FHS, but it doesn't require is to make it default.
I personally see GNUstep as something very important and when I use it
as a desktop, I consider it more important than the OS underneath and
for that reason I want the GNUstep/next Layout and not the
Debian/BSD/Solaris/whatever. For me the machine becomse a GNUstep system
"debian based" like NeXT or Apple are somehow "BSD based".
This is of course a personal opinion and is also tied to the fact that I
try to use everything GNUstep.
It is clear (to me at least, and I never depated that) that a user
wanting to install a single GNUstep application in a KDE or GNOme
environment may want to have the FHS. Since Debian can't predict its
usage FHS is a good generic package.
