Hrrmm... I am not very optimistic about fixing this with a Fremantle update. On balance, though, I still think that the maemo-optify approach gives the most gain for the least pain, even if we are in this for a little bit longer. Your approach of turning /opt into a proper prefix alonside /, /usr, and also /usr/local is quite intrusive, I would say, as it potentially affects all packages that have standard places to search. We did this excersize early on with /var/lib/install, and while it is possible, we never were sure whether we had succeeded completely and there was always something to fix somewhere that didn't work right. It was a big relief to stop doing that and to just go with established standards. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
