Look, this really is getting us nowhere. Let's please forget this topic for the time being, it will need to be revisited as the software should and HOPEFULLY will go in /usr where it rightfully belongs. I can tell you that we were having some of these same discussions 5+ years ago, and I do remember that both me and Stefan were around in those discussions...this has always been a topic that has caused much flame. Again, let's take a big breath and understand that software is moving into /usr in the future, get used to it. Now, if other folks want to go ahead and create other distros of KDE and locate them in /opt, that is ok with me, but I want this OpenSolaris KDE project to be the one that delivers in /usr. Others can locate in /usr also, but then it places more onus on the user to understand which packages they install, where they get updates, etc... Enough of /opt/csw, /usr/foss/, /usr/sun, /usr/sfw, etc...what we need is to have our community united, not segregated as it has been. I want all software installed to /usr unless there is a problem, and those will be the exception cases (i.e., minority). -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group
