9base inherited its home in /usr/local/plan9 from the original Plan 9 >From User Space. Typical usage sees /usr/local/plan9/bin added to the beginning of the user's PATH. For this reason, I thought it might be inadvisable to install it in a directory where placing that location ahead of /bin and /usr/bin in the user's PATH might have unintended consequences (namely, from packages other than 9base). In addition, there are existing ports which conflict with some of the binaries installed by 9base. Two examples are sam and rc. These two in particular are drawn from different, older versions of the programs than 9base (and in the case of rc, an incompatible implementation written by a different author). Are there existing ports I can examine that have resolved similar concerns? -sl
