Yes. We're trying to get rid of the /usr/sfw/bin botch as best we can, or at least not allow it to grow. The original reason for /usr/sfw was to prevent users from wandering into External (extremely volatile; not necessarily compatible from patch to patch) software. But with GNOME integrating into /usr/bin as External and with the realization that the pain of torquing every $PATH was much higher than the value (if any) gained from the segregation, we've decided to drop the idea. (There are other reasons behind it, but the lack of a firm grounding for differentiation by stability was the key issue.) -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
