I understand this point, though I'm not sure I agree about that "tradition". I'm more concerned about a naive installer (ie Apple's) stomping on stuff that already exists. darwinports couldn't care less if other stuff is in /opt/local, it will recognise it and use it to fulfill dependancies if need be. It was more of a of a warning as stomping on stuff is rude, be it installed by fink/darwinports/another package/by hand or whatever.On Thursday, October 17, 2002, at 01:57 PM, Michael Maibaum wrote:Mine is not the only distribution that would clash with it, then. Many of the Server Logistics packages are also installed into /opt. It's the traditional place to put individua, unmanagedl third-party applications. I think you should reconsider using /opt - for a package manager, a separate "sandbox" in which it has complete control over managed packages is much more appropriate. Take Fink, for example, which uses /sw.I would, but be aware the darwinports goes into /opt/local by default.
