I believe migration is fairly complete. There are "gray areas" like KDE and other WMs--they can be treated like integral parts of the system and installed in /usr or like add-in software and installed in /opt/(windowmanagername), and neither FHS 2.2 nor LSB 1.0 say anything about it or offer any guidance. I check the /usr/doc and usr/packagename/doc files regularly and rebuild rpms to put those things into /usr/share/doc where they belong, and all our commercial software packages are set to install in /opt/(packagename) So where, exactly, do you think we don't comply? BTW the bogus /media directory once proposed in March 2001 was never adopted in the FHS final. Civileme
