Can we please put /opt - /usr/opt and the empty /opt tree in the base
package, before things get any worse ?
Also I propose to mandate in the policy manual that packages which use
/opt should provide appropriate links or files in
/opt/{bin,lib,man,include,info,doc} and that packages which search
paths must look in /opt too. Comments ? (And see the recent
FSSTND/FHS work on /opt - it's deliberately very vague.)
And where goes the copyright file ? /opt/doc/package/copyright ? This will
be messy. /usr/doc/package/copyright seems to be inappropriate as well.
/opt/package/copyright, in line with the non-integrated nature of
many of these packages ?
Any opinions, anyone ?
Ian.

Should we put /opt/bin before or after /usr/bin by default? (I'd suggest
before).
After, because it will be larger, and because it makes it harder for
an /opt package to accidentally cause problems ?
The sysadmin can always use /usr/local to change which one is run if
they want some different arrangement locally.
