Agreed. > I have no strong feelings either way, but I would > prefer /opt/apache2 over > /opt/apache2.2. Careful there -- it is the way the HP-UX freeware community took. Eventually they had to give up and scrap the whole thing because they ended up with a PATH mess -- one /opt/something/ PATH for every piece of software! But I do agree with you, by all means, /opt is the right place. Namely, /opt/sfw/. Put everything under one PATH and deliver *an entire* software stack under it. After all, that's what packages are for, so that stuff can be added and removed and kept track of... whether they are under the same directory or not makes no difference since the OS keeps track of it, but it makes a *huge difference* for maintaining the system PATH.
