But you are not a normal user here :-) You know that stuff ends in /usr/local on BSD and in /usr on GNU/Linux and you can know that they end up in /opt in Maemo5 It's almost impossible to support everyone. Point is to support the important/common uses but not make the life of the minor uses miserable. If you already know that we have /usr or that there's something callled autobuilder and know you can set it up then you are not a normal user. And I'm not wearing my Nokia hat here. I'm wearing my FOSS hat :) Cheers, -- Maemo Software Nokia Devices _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
