I think David's suggestion would be more sane, as packages don't have to be changed (Debian packages normally install into /usr, so that's already standard and works well). Bootscripts could check for the existence of symlinks in /usr, and if they are not there, simply create them (there should be about 6 subdirectories in /usr according to [1]). Would that really be a problem? Using /opt just seems wrong and nonstandard, sorry :/ Think about http://wiki.maemo.org/Mainstream_Linux_Alignment, please :) Thanks, Thomas [1] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEUSRHIERARCHY _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
