IMHO the /usr/local-directory is not the right place for installing
software by a package-management. I think it would be much better to
place it to /opt or split the package up into the existing /usr-directory.
Generally, /opt in Gentoo is for binary-only or commercial packages.
Its perfectly reasonable to have local stuff under /usr/local (see FHS:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.9.html).
in FHS that may be true, but IIRC it is not allowed for ebuilds. In fact
I got stomped on in bugzilla for suggesting it in realtion to a
different package.
My install of mailman is also in /usr/local but I had never noticed this
breach of ebuild etiquette before this thread mentioned it. Maybe there
is some good reason in this case .
Of course, you can change where
stuff gets installed too. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing
